You’ll use Canterbury and the wider Kent landscape as a canvas from which to work, researching, designing and examining the impact that your designs and plans would have upon it.On campus, you’ll be able to take advantage of our extensive facilities, including forms of fabrication and testing, the latest scanning and VR technology, and a suite of traditional craft based workshops, all of which will allow you to bring your design proposals to life. You will have the freedom to establish your own unique specialisms, such as advanced retrofit-based knowledge, and you will develop your own highly individualised design identity and style.Along the way you’ll be guided by our team of academics and a wide range of industry professionals, and collaborative opportunities alongside students across the School of Architecture and Design will give you an enriched experience where specialised learning is combined with new perspectives and approaches to broaden your own horizons.
