MEET LIZ
Associate Professor and Head of the Year 1 Architectural Design Studio at the University of Nottingham (2004-22).
Over 18 years I taught more than 3,600 students, oversaw a studio of 155 students each academic year, working with my team of around 35 staff. As Head of Year 1, I supported students through the transition from school to university - one of the most challenging and formative years of an architecture degree.
The 7-Day Insider's Guide is built directly from that experience.
