Date revealed for 2025 Salford Degree Show

The annual showpiece event will take place on Thursday 22 May with work to be shown from 14 of the University’s leading creative arts programmes.

It is the culmination of three years of hard work from our undergraduate students, with work featured from our Art and Design (Foundation Year), Animation, Costume Design, Digital Media Arts, Digital Media and Extended Reality, Fashion Business and Promotion, Fashion Design, Fashion Image Making & Styling, Fine Art, Film TV and Stage Design, Games Design, Graphic Design, Interior Design and Photography programmes.

All are welcome to the show which will take over our New Adelphi building in style. Visitors will be entranced by an array of innovative exhibitions across three floors of the building, each demonstrating the top-tier talents of our students.

The Vice-Chancellor, Nic Beech, will formally open the event with a speech on the ground floor of the New Adelphi building from 5.30pm.

Our students will have the opportunity to meet with a wide range of invited representatives from across the creative industries and talk about their work as they seek to carve out their professional careers.
