Since our first graduating class in 2001, CAAD has been proud to showcase the exceptional work of our students in the areas of architecture, interior design, design management, multimedia design, visual communication and urban planning.

Inaugurated in 2013, the annual Six Degrees exhibition is an event all CAAD students look forward to participating in as a pinnacle opportunity to present their most outstanding senior work to the design industry, colleagues and family.

The 2023 edition of Six Degrees was held at Dubai Design District from June 9 to 16, 2023. Featuring works by more than 100 students across all six CAAD degree programs, the exhibition opening was attended by family and supporters of our graduates, as well as design industry representatives.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

To our graduating students—congratulations! As you begin your professional journey, I join the broader CAAD community in wishing you the very best for a successful future. As an AUS alumnus, you are very much an integral part of our community. I encourage you to continue to challenge and support each other as you have in the CAAD studios, connect quickly with our global network of CAAD alumni, and to return to us often as mentors, guest lecturers and friends. We look forward to celebrating your successes with you.
