Design Yearbook 2017

NUAS
Newcastle University Architecture Society is the student-run representation body within the School. Representing just under 600 students, we
work to provide opportunities that enhance our member’s education through programmes ranging from skills workshops, industry panel talks
to one on one support. For many students in APL the society forms the heart of the School, bringing together students from across different
stages with staff and practitioners in a casual environment. Every year we work to host a variety of events aimed to break up academic teaching
including international trips, socials, and our annual Summer Ball and Charity Ball, which raised over £1000 in aid of Crisis in December.
NUAS continues to go from strength to strength after winning the 2017 ‘IBM Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Student
Community’ highlighting our work to boost cross stage engagement around the School and campaigning to improve students’ safety and
welfare. We are also celebrating winning ‘Best Departmental Society’ for the second year running for our work providing an enjoyable
atmosphere outside of lectures to meet, discuss and challenge the built environment sector.
The Society wishes to thank all the staff of APL for their endless help and enthusiasm as well as RIBA, NAWIC and our industry partners for
their support. Our thanks also goes to our members, for without whom we simply would not of had the outstanding year we have.
