Syllabus
 

The content and syllabus will vary from student to student based on their chosen topic and area of interest. Students select an area of personal or professional interest to them and are encouraged to critically appraise this in relation to a London based project. This might be the work of an individual architect or designer, a buidling or urban area. This is developed through tutorials and may lead to further development in the Thesis project.
