Over the next five years, the two institutions will ‘actively seek to encourage and facilitate joint activities’, conducting collaborative research, holding joint educational events and providing academic exchange programmes for students and staff.
Commenting, Professor Lawrence Zeegen, Executive Dean of Design said, “We are hugely excited to be working with LASALLE College of the Arts — an institution with which we have much in common. I was lucky enough to visit their striking building in central Singapore in May, and have been impressed by their suite of art and design based courses. The first of our collaborations will be ‘Topographies and Typographies’, providing an opportunity for our architecture and graphic design students to visit Singapore and exchange ideas with their international counterparts.”
Professor Dixon added, “LASALLE is delighted to establish a partnership with Ravensbourne. Our institutions share many similarities in terms of our practice-based approach to our curriculum delivery and working closely with the industry to ensure our programmes are relevant to the sector. The partnership with Ravensbourne will enable our students to collaborate and add an international dimension to enrich the student experience. We look forward to many exciting collaborations from our partnership.”
