Your annual edition of Nonesuch has landed!

We hear from academic experts on topical issues of the day, inspiring students whose big ideas are changing the world, and Bristol graduates who share insights into their remarkable lives.

We also take a journey through the archives of student life over the years, a chance to revisit memories and moments from your time in Bristol.

Plus, with the opening of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus this September, we speak to the academics and staff helping shape this exciting new chapter, brought to life through illustrations by local artist Jack Greening.

Long before the University of Bristol Synchronised Swimming Club came together in 2018, the pool was already a place of early mornings, careful counts, and disciplined repetition, captured here in this 1980s shot of training in progress.
