Adobe Creative Campus Spotlight
Bath Spa University — inspiring and empowering student creativity!
Bath Spa University recently launched its Adobe Creative Lab — a space dedicated to inspiring imagination! Kitted out with professional, industry-standard equipment including a 3D printer, sticker printer, graphics tablets, podcast equipment, and more, the lab enables students to get their creative juices flowing with hands-on experience outside of the classroom.
Bath Spa London campus
BSU recently unveiled a second Adobe Creative Campus mural at the London campus, designed by BSUL student, Vindya Athukoralalage, winner of its Adobe Express mural design competition.
“To me, this colourful installation showcases our students’ creativity and digital fluency — Vindya entered the competition three times, each submission showing growth in her understanding and use of generative AI tools, leading to her winning design.”— Rachel Garman, BSU student experience manager
If you’re not familiar with the original BSU student mural, check it out here as well as in Rachel Garman’s LinkedIn post.
It is truly awe inspiring to see the incredible ways in which BSU continues to inspire and empower its students and bring its Adobe Creative Campuses to life with next-level originality everywhere you look!
Solent University student Will Swain shares his Adobe MAX experience.
Earlier this month, Will Swain, a BA (Hons) TV Production student at Solent University, attended the 2024 Adobe MAX conference in Miami, Florida. Will was one of five students selected from a competitive group of 33 Adobe student ambassadors globally.
We caught up with Will to learn about his MAX experience:
Q: How was your experience at Adobe MAX Miami?
Will: Adobe MAX Miami was amazing, an experience that I will never forget. As an Adobe student ambassador, I previously had the opportunity to attend Adobe MAX London — also an amazing experience. Prior to my trip to Miami, I was told to expect the same but with even more energy and excitement. How right they were! Adobe MAX is an event you’ll never want to miss.
Q: What stood out to you the most?
Will: I love photography and event planning — with the bits of TV broadcasts in between. The event production and innovative technology were fascinating. I loved seeing how everything was put together, from the cameras to the event planning.
Q: Any advice for future attendees?
Will: Networking is crucial. I met so many amazing people who made me feel part of a community. Also, be prepared for a lot of walking, learning, and talking! If you’re interested in learning new creative skills, you’ll love it.
Q: What’s next for you?
Will: I’m looking forward to more opportunities like this. Maybe Tokyo 2025? Stay tuned!

We are excited to share that we’ve just released our 2024 Creative AI Jobs Report — “Equipping students and early career seekers with essential skills” — conducted in partnership with Edelman
We think you’ll find this white paper a useful continuation of the conversations we’ve been having over the last year, covering topics such as:
How generative AI is expected to change the job market in the next 10 years and beyond
Which essential and creative AI job skills will be in demand
Why 66% of business leaders say they wouldn’t hire candidates who lack AI skills
How higher education institutions can equip students with these skills through curricula and other programs
How the more than 50% of instructors and administrators who don’t use AI are impacting student learning
How government policy is responding to generative AI and education
Specific strategies and actions that decision makers can take to prepare students with career-ready AI job skills
You can download the full white paper here, and feel free to share with any colleagues or leadership you think could benefit from the insights.
