Industry Week 2026
Lincoln School of Design & Architecture
Industry Week brings leading practitioners from across design, architecture, fashion, media, technology and the built environment into the School of Design and Architecture to work directly with our students.
Across the week, industry speakers will share how creative work actually happens beyond university. This includes the realities of practice, collaboration, emerging technologies, professional workflows, and career pathways. Sessions range from talks and panel discussions to hands-on workshops and portfolio-focused activities, offering students insight into contemporary industry expectations and cultures.
Industry Week is designed to bridge academic study and professional practice. It gives students the opportunity to hear directly from designers, architects, creatives and employers working at different scales and stages of their careers, ask informed questions, and better understand how their skills translate into the wider creative economy
