We constantly invest in our facilities to provide the best learning environment for our students. Research underpins the student experience at the University of Lincoln. Our students learn from, and work alongside, academics who are conducting research that has a positive impact on society at a local, national and global level. Historic and dynamic, Lincoln is one of the world s great small cities, renowned for its striking fusion of old and new. It is also one of the safest and friendliest university cities in the UK and was named one of the top five happiest places in the UK in a 2014 study by city guide publisher Jetpas. Lincoln provides the perfect historic setting in which to investigate and study architecture and design. Programme Overview Design is at the heart of the BA (Hons) Architecture degree. We are designers working in design studios to create imaginative and practical building designs. History, theory, construction and environment studios are largely integrated with a range of design projects. We encourage a co-operative and productive environment for sharing ideas, techniques and experience which supports students in discovering their own approach to design. The aim is to help students acquire a complete tool kit of skills for architectural design and production. From the outset, students learn to apply drawing techniques to the investigation and communication of architectural design, alongside computer-aided design and hands-on modelling and construction. Our excellent workshop facilities have lasercutting and rapid-prototyping equipment for exploratory work supported by highly-skilled technical staff. Our diverse teaching staff encompasses individuals with a range of international qualifications, and experience devoted to practise-based and research-engaged teaching. The University s School of Architecture and Design is committed to socially and environmentally sustainable development, both locally and globally, and we aim to equip our graduates with the analytical and design skills to match up to the challenges of future architectural practice. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE This degree provides students with the opportunity to research, experiment and find their own voice as designers in a range of studios, each offering different themes, theories or working methods. The degree programme culminates in a major project that integrates design, theoretical, technical and professional studies. Students demonstrate the synthesis of imagination and practical resolution by applying their own architectural language to a building design resolved in detail. The wide range of individual approaches is celebrated in the Final Year Degree Show.

32 University of Lincoln BA (Hons) Design for Exhibition and Museums Registration Number (Non-Local Higher and Professional Education (Registration) Ordinance): University of Lincoln The University of Lincoln s award-winning city centre campus provides a modern student-centred environment. Based on the picturesque Brayford Pool marina, everything you need is either on campus or just a short walk away. We constantly invest in our facilities to provide the best learning environment for our students. Research underpins the student experience at the University of Lincoln.

Lincoln provides the perfect historic setting in which to investigate and study architecture and design. Programme Overview PROGRAMME STRUCTURE The subject of Design for Exhibition and Museums is about creating exciting and engaging three-dimensional, communicative environments. It is all about storytelling, whether this is of a brand, a collection or an idea. By using a multidisciplinary approach that includes aspects of interior, graphic, product and communication design, exhibition designers construct a narrative that acts as an interpretive bridge between the expert or client and their audience. We focus on the interests of two areas of economic and cultural activity; the commercial exhibitions industry and the museum and heritage sectors. Both areas are global in scope and subject to extremely rapid growth and change, particularly in Hong Kong and China. Clients and audiences demand exhibitions that provide an engaging, informative and thoroughly immersive experience. We have a track record of developing our students the interdisciplinary creative thinking and knowledge of new technologies, which are key to succeeding in this field. Our students learn how to understand and interpret particular messages for different audience types, from general visitor groups in museums or heritage environments, to technically sophisticated individuals at trade-only and special interest exhibitions. We have a sustainability and access agenda that informs all fields of exhibition design and has a central place in the ethos of the course. This is a unique course, with a strong vocational nature and the high employability levels for its graduates. It takes a studiobased approach that mirrors the design practice environment, where students make, think and draw together, using both analogue and digital technologies. The ephemeral nature of the discipline has to its constant change and evolution over many years and all our students are welcomed into a long established international family of working designers.
