Student Experience Day — Apply by 8 December!
We’re excited to offer 20 students the chance to win an Experience Day at Adobe HQ Shoreditch, taking place on 6 February 2025. This is a great opportunity for students to build their CV, network with the Adobe team and other winning students, and develop skills across different disciplines.
How can students get involved?
The incentive is offered as part of our A-list initiative, with prizes on offer to Adobe Creative Campus students. To enter, students must log in to Adobe Express (mobile or desktop) using their ac.uk email and create something showing where and what they study and state why they deserve this opportunity.
To submit their entry, students must use the app’s share feature to share it with alist@adobe.com.
How can institutions promote this to students?
Click here to access an Adobe Express template, containing promotional assets and email copy for students (when prompted, click ‘remix’). To give your students the best possible chance to win this incredible opportunity, we encourage you to display these assets on campus digital screens, social media, student newsletters, institution apps, and in-class or lecture announcements, etc.
EMEA AEI Wrap-up
You may already be familiar with our annual Adobe Education Institute (AEI) event. Last month we took it a step further by hosting a second 2024 virtual AEI event, available exclusively to our European Adobe Creative Campuses.
The event showcased innovative teaching strategies and the transformative power of Adobe Express in education. We had an incredible turnout with HE staff and faculty representation from 30 Adobe Creative Campus institutions across 5 regions! We are truly grateful to everyone who took the time to participate.
If you couldn’t attend, check out our AEI “in a box” training resources on the Adobe Creative Campus portal. They include everything you need to train faculty and staff with Adobe tools throughout the school year, equipping them with new ways to engage students in learning vital skills that prepare them for the future. Access the portal using the login credentials below. For more information about how to use these materials, click here.

Badging and Certifications
Adobe Learn: Career readiness with essential skills for your students.
Creativity is the skill that hiring managers value most. With the Adobe Learn platform, students can earn digital badges upon completing the courses to showcase their accomplishments on LinkedIn and get noticed.
The platform offers a series of self-paced courses on essential skills, like how to deliver captivating presentations. Successful institutions have assigned these courses to students in coursework and outside of standard curricula to prepare students with career-ready skills.
Whilst these courses were developed with students in mind, they’re also available for staff and faculty!
Adobe Certification now available via Coursera!
Building on Adobe’s commitment to empower learners of all backgrounds to succeed in today’s job market and to unleash creativity, Adobe’s new skilling initiative aims to bring AI literacy, content creation, and digital skills to 30 million students worldwide.
As part of this initiative, Adobe courses are now available via Coursera, enabling anyone to learn and gain creative and digital skills at their own pace. Adobe Content Creations and Graphic Design courses are now open for enrollment.
