My first year on the corse was not quite what I expected. I was told to expect a highly professional environment but what I found was a warm and welcoming atmosphere which I found nurtured the creativity we depend so much upon. Semester 1 history was a bit naff though, there was an error with the exam which invalidated it meaning we all as a class had to resit in early august but because the fault was with the Uni they didn’t count the original as one of our attempts and they substituted a piece of coursework for an exam (thankfully submitted online)

As a new student the course so far seems like it is going to be very practical and less theory based. This I think will improve my learning and understanding more. read more

My course is providing me with the knowledge and skills to develop innovative yet contextually appropriate solutions to challenges in the industry. I found innovative strategies and digital design modules very informative. They made me explore real-world problems in zero-carbon buildings, urban design, project management, design for fabrication and assembly, digital and parametric design and future bound designs. read more
