The brightest new stars of art, design, jewellery, fashion and visual communication will be showing their work to the public later this week.
Masters of Arts (MA) students from Birmingham City University will be showcasing their final projects at a series of shows across the city.

The shows demonstrate what can be achieved by studying at Birmingham Institute of Art and design (BIAD) and they are also an ideal opportunity for prospective students to see examples of student work.
