LIZ'S STORY
I’ve spent the last 18 years (2004-22) running the Year 1 Architectural Design Studio at the University of Nottingham. In my role as Head of Year 1 (Associate Professor), I gained significant knowledge of the highs and lows that students often experience when studying architecture. And I now wish to share my experience and insights with a much wider audience.
FINDING THE RIGHT PATH
After working in the architecture and design field since graduating with a degree and masters in Architecture from Kingston University, I began to realise that teaching architecture was where my real passion lay.
Following a very successful career teaching architecture at the University of Nottingham, my focus has now moved towards helping students who are considering studying architecture at university.Â
To this end, I have created the 7-Day Insider’s Guide to Studying Architecture, to help students gain more of an understanding as to whether a degree in architecture is a good fit for them.Â

LIZ'SÂ INTERESTS
I love teaching architecture because I get to explore how design impacts people and ideas about the world with my students. My focus is on design and communicating our design ideas to others through visual communication. As such, my areas of interest and expertise include drawing, photography, art, and graphic design.
In my spare time, I enjoy travelling to beautiful places, to visit exciting buildings, and immerse myself in the local culture.Â
During the 7-Day Insider’s Guide to Studying Architecture course, I share many of my drawings, photographs and experiences, along with key design insights from the places I have visited throughout my travels.
