The next generation of talent

"As a Future Generations art and design school, our curriculum encourages students to consider the long-term impact of their decisions on people, communities, and ecosystems.

This year we celebrate practice that embodies the Well-being of Future Generations Wales Act — work that addresses, sustainability, social justice, cultural vitality, or environmental responsibility. Whether through material choices, community collaboration, critical enquiry, or speculative vision, we've awarded work that looks beyond today towards a better future.”

Ingrid Murphy, Principal Lecturer in Digital Learning

In Conversation With

In conversation with academics, students across every discipline share the thinking behind their research. From the interior design of prisons and gen-z consumer behaviour to the loss of ancient craftsmanship and greenwashing, it’s a window into the depth, critical thinking, and ambition of our students.

Our podcast gives students the platform to do what great researchers should – talk about their work.

City Centre Takeover

Each year, we bring our degree show to the city. Student work from every programme takes over outdoor billboards for two weeks, placing graduate creativity in real-world context.

It's more than an exhibition. It’s part of our commitment to connect students with the real world, and with the communities and spaces that shape creative practice.

Helen Gregory Memorial Award

The Helen Gregory Memorial Award honours the legacy of Helen Gregory, a former student whose life was cut short in 1988 by her murder whilst backpacking in Thailand.

The Gregory family chose to bestow the university with a fund to commemorate her time here, financing a number of annual student prizes in perpetuity. These have been awarded each year since 1989.

The 2025 purchase prize was awarded to Flea Spiers - BA (Hons) Fine Art.
