Annual Exhibition
The culmination of the Inchbald year is the Annual Graduate Exhibition, an opportunity for students to proudly showcase the extensive efforts of their studies. This year marked the 65th Anniversary Exhibition, and was held at the iconic Design Avenue, Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, Lots Road, SW10 0XE. It is a valuable occasion for students to network and make connections within the design profession.
Graduation & Awards Ceremony
Graduating from Inchbald is an important milestone for all students. Their hard work and dedication is marked with a ceremony where they receive their qualification from the Dean. A number of special awards are presented at this event for exceptional work judged by industry luminaries who have included Monique Tollgard, Marcus Barnett, Nina Campbell and Suzanne Trocmé.
Autumn Lecture
An inspirational springboard held early in the academic year, the Inchbald Autumn Lecture is delivered by distinguished figures from the world of design. Previous speakers have included Anthony Paul, Guy Oliver, Nina Campbell and David Harber.
Spring Lunch
Inchbald is deeply committed to maintaining its excellent links and relationship with the professional design world, which is what makes Inchbald a powerhouse of design education. The Spring lunch is a networking opportunity for current students to forge connections with luminaries of the garden and interior design professions. Hosted by the Dean, students, alumni, studio owners and media come together to pool ideas and connections and strengthen the bridge between education and career.
