During this course you'll develop a range of creative, technical, cognitive and professional skills relevant to employment in design-related built environment professions. This course will encourage you to develop your own approach to the subject and offers opportunities for you to work on individual projects, with smaller tutorial groups, and participate in joint visits and other events. Town study trips, to Europe and further afield have previously been organised each year incorporating the opportunity to use a site in an international context.

With a focus on practical design work, you'll complete a series of projects that include elements of work such as reports or short texts. You'll explore the functional, expressive and social impact of new construction technology and learn how the environment can influence mood and behaviour. You'll also develop an understanding of the interactions between people, activities and places.

Upon graduation, you could find yourself working in architectural and urban consultancy, workplace design, housing research, retail planning or community development. Join us at Ravensbourne and discover your unique approach to interior design and environment architectures.
