Alumni Edit

Quarterly email for UWE Bristol graduates, bringing the best of our stories, news and memories straight to your inbox.

October 2024

This autumn we bring you opportunities to indulge in some nostalgia. Visit campus virtually in 360 degrees and reminisce with the vintage programmes we found from the Centre for Performing Arts.

An Olympic silver medal winning student and an awe-inspiring astro-photographer attract international attention.

We celebrate philanthropic alumni - civil rights hero Guy Bailey and a robotics graduate helping others.

In research, we spotlight a ground-breaking ruby and find out how an alum used urine from Bristol Pride for good.
