A Successful Start to the New Academic Year
News
A new academic year was launched successfully on Monday 21st September for both Undergraduate and Masters courses in architecture and project management. 2020-21 looks to be our most exciting year yet as we embrace new technologies, working methods and partner organisations, ready to investigate the roles of architecture and construction in a world that looks very different to how it did only one year ago. Our commitment to equipping students with the knowledge and skills to tackle the climate emergency continues with projects focussing on topics such as re-use and future housing, and we are delighted to say that a student-led action group of staff & students have launched the Queen’s Climate Action Network (q.c.a.n.), campaigning for knowledge of sustainability across the School of Natural and Built Environment.
Academic, technical and professional staff teams have worked tirelessly over the summer break to make sure that the studios and lecture spaces can accommodate face-to-face teaching within new health and safety guidelines. Meanwhile classes, presentations and tutorials also commenced online in our virtual studios.
Many thanks to all staff and students who together made our first week back so enjoyable.
