Alumni
In July 2009, Howard Gardens Gallery curated a show It wouldn’t have been worth it without the struggle featuring graduates of our programmes who are making a name for themselves, such as the Fine Artist Marega Palser.
Showing recent work is just one of several ways that we can help our graduates. Another is to enable graduates to use our facilities through the CSAD Affiliates programme for the production and development of their own work. You can put yourself on our mailing lists to be sure to be invited back to our exhibitions, lectures and degree shows. And as a CSAD graduate you become part of UWIC Alumni Society…
So, you’re thinking about studying at UWIC - but have you ever wondered what will happen after graduation?
We know for a fact that the skills and ideas you develop here will stand you in good stead and that you will be best placed to carve out for yourself the career you want. Over the years, CSAD graduates have made a real difference as designers, makers, architects and artists. They have brought their skills and ideas to many forms of creative engagement that have been quietly enriching our lives in so many ways.
Amongst CSAD graduates is the fashion designer, David Emanuel who studied here 1972-75. The international product design guru, Ross Lovegrove and fashion designer, Julien McDonald, both took their Foundation year at CSAD. These are just three of thousands of extraordinary people, who once studied with us and are now successfully working in the arts and creative industries worldwide.
The people you meet at CSAD are likely to be friends and professional contacts for life. Just as you will keep in touch with them, so we are keen to keep in touch with you
Whatever their chosen field, our alumni (latin for nurslings, foster-sons or pupils, but used by universities to mean ‘former students’) are brought together by the simple fact that they studied at the Cardiff School of Art & Design.
If you choose to study at UWIC, you become a member of the UWIC Alumni Society as soon as you graduate. UWIC Alumni benefit from a lifetime of opportunities, which include access to the UWIC Careers Service for many years after graduation, as well as access to libraries and sports facilities. Add to this the network of individuals who excel in their chosen field, and you’ll see that being a UWIC Graduate has definite advantages.
We’re proud of the education we provide, and of the students who come here, and that pride does not stop at your graduation ceremony - we’re here for you for the long term. We look forward to welcoming you into our network, and to making sure that the network works for you.
