About the Project

This collection contains selected undergraduate dissertations and abstracts from final-year students in Fine Art and Art & Philosophy at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design (DJCAD), part of the University of Dundee. It was compiled to coincide with the DJCAD Degree Show 2026, and represents a curated snapshot of current undergraduate research and practice in the visual arts and interdisciplinary humanities.

Published by Open Research & Publishing at the University of Dundee Library, this open-access volume aims to increase the discoverability and long-term accessibility of undergraduate research outputs. It highlights the intellectual and creative contributions of the 2026 graduating cohort and supports ongoing engagement with student research in Art and Design.
