A core function of the University Galleries is the support of student excellence by developing practical professional skills and industry opportunities. The University Galleries offers students from all disciplines the chance to utilise creative thinking practices across real workplace scenarios. Engaging with the Galleries gives students the tools to challenge their existing perspectives and methodologies, approach problem-solving from new directions, allowing innovation and new ideas to flourish through engagement with curated and research exhibitions, and a broad range of industry experience.
