Architecture and Design
(including Foundation)
Founded in 1908, we are a wide-ranging design house which constitutes design through the scales. We equip our students for life beyond graduation, through our extensive relationships with the professions and industries. We do this by blurring the boundaries between academia and practice to ensure our graduates are confident, independent, and well-rounded citizens and professionals.
