*
Supporting students as they complete complex design projects and coursework, guiding them through the design process from concept sketches to final prototype.

A modern and dedicated DT building that supports a range of disciplines and fosters innovation and independent thinking.
*
Motivated and articulate students who are ambitious, curious, and receptive to challenge.
*
A culture of academic excellence balanced with an appreciation of creativity, design thinking, and practical application.

A supportive leadership team that values staff wellbeing and professional autonomy.
