As well as undertaking their
respective programme of study,
all students are encouraged to
establish and pursue their own
independent architectural interests.
In order to assist with such, each
programme runs four study trips
per academic year - many of which
are cross-pathway and therefore
fosters dialogue between students.
This year students undertook
visits to West Yorkshire (Hepworth
Gallery and Yorkshire Sculpture
Park), Manchester, Edinburgh,
Middlesbrough
and
Peterlee
(MIMA, Middlehaven and Apollo
Pavilion) and Durham (UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
The trips are always met with
enthusiasm and are often referred
to in final reviews as a source of
inspiration, as well as informing
output in supporting modules.
