Industrial Advisory Board

The Industrial Advisory Board facilitates the exchange of ideas in the School of Architecture and Environment.

The role of the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) is to facilitate the exchange of ideas between the board members, employers and academic staff and students in the School of Architecture and Environment.

The IAB's role is advisory rather than decision making, intended as a forum for strategic discussion that assists industry related operational aspects of the School’s degree apprenticeships while also informing our wider undergraduate and postgraduate portfolio. The IAB supports the School to continuously explore the latest industry developments and ensure graduates have the future facing skills they need to excel in their careers.

There are six discipline specific subject boards within the IAB:

  • Surveying
  • Building Services Engineering
  • Construction Management
  • Geography and Environmental Management
  • Town Planning
  • Architecture

Benefits to industrial partners

  • A raised awareness of the industrial partner's activities amongst staff and students.
  • Ability to influence graduate outcomes, ensuring graduates are equipped with the essential skills required by future employers.
  • Networking with other companies and organisations within the IAB.
  • Access to a large student population to undertake a wide range live-briefs or of projects.
  • Access to expertise and research support that are available in the School.
  • Insight into the latest approaches to learning and teaching in their field.
