Graduate Degree Show 2022 Glasgow and online, August
Hot on the heels of the undergraduate Degree Show comes the annual showcase of postgraduate work, which also makes a return to the physical realm this year. From fashion collections to innovative service design, heritage visualisation to painting, this is your chance to explore the work of GSA’s master’s students both on campus and online.
Are you working on your application to art school? The GSA’s Portfolio Preparation Course gives you the time and space to develop your portfolio in a collaborative, dynamic studio environment. The course is structured to help you choose a specialist area of art and design to study, and has a track record of getting students places at top art schools across the UK.

Race, Rights and Sovereignty Race, Rights and Sovereignty Glasgow and online, throughout the year
The Students’ Association and GSA Exhibitions curate this public series, exploring the relationship between race, place, and creative practice. The current programme strand, Caring Between Practices, invites practitioners working at the intersections of art and somatic practices to deliver workshops, walks and talks, to help us consider how somatic and healing practices can be used as ways to care for ourselves and each other within our own practices.
