<p>Plymouth College of Art is committed to celebrating the new wave of makers ready to take over the creative industries from across our School of Design + Communication and School of Arts + Media.</p> <p>We want to ensure that despite the lockdown, all of our graduating students have the opportunity to present their work to the public and to celebrate their status as graduating students of Plymouth College of Art — all the more notable as this cohort will be the first to graduate with a degree qualification accredited by the college, following the Privy Council’s approval to award Plymouth College of Art taught degree awarding powers (TDAP) in April 2019.</p> <p>While global events have changed the nature of the Class of 2020 final year degree show, they will be sharing this virtual community of practice with thousands of their peers from other arts universities around the world who have faced many of the same challenges.<br /></p>
