Education and External Examination
At 1828, we believe education should empower people to thrive. We support universities, colleges, and learning providers to design programmes that are inclusive, relevant, and rooted in real-world impact. Our focus is on creating learning environments where every student feels seen, supported, and challenged to grow at their own pace.
We offer curriculum and course development, staff training, and quality assurance services across architecture and design education. This includes acting as external examiners for ARB Part III qualifications, and internationally as academic verifiers. We also help shape innovative learning models, such as the joint design degree between the University of Lincoln and the Hong Kong Design Institute, ensuring distance and cross-cultural education works for everyone involved.
With deep experience in teaching and leading programmes, we bring expertise in embedding equity and access into every level of academic practice. As Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and IDEO certification in advance design thinking and change leadership, we understand what it takes to build education that’s both rigorous and compassionate.
Whether you're refreshing a course or rethinking your whole approach to learning, we’re here to help build education that’s inclusive, future-ready, and meaningful for everyone involved.
