LAGD Awards 2020

As part of the WUC Design Degree Show 2020, which launched on 27th May 2020, we are pleased to share the results of the LAGD Awards 2020.

There were a number of awards up for grabs, for undergraduate and postgraduate students of the Landscape Architecture & Garden Design courses areas. Most of the awards were chosen by industry professionals representing our sponsors, but the public was also able to get involved with the People's Choice Awards.

The awards were presented at an exclusive packed Zoom event. The event was attended by our talented students, staff from WUC, special guests and of course our sponsors, who presented the awards.

WUC Design Degree Show 2020 - Virtual Exhibition


There are just 2 weeks to go until the Writtle University College Design Degree Show 2020. The exhibition will feature the work of students from Art & the Environment, Contemporary Art & Design, Landscape Architecture & Garden Design and Professional Floristry & Floral Design.


In a change to the usual format we will be holding a Virtual Exhibition. This will take place online, but as always will highlight the breadth of skill and creativity from our amazing students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Virtual Exhibition:
Wednesday 27th May from 12pm (UTC+1)

Normally the exhibition launch would take place in the evening in our adapted dedicated design studios. As we're going virtual this year, and because we have students back home in Japan and Korea, we've moved the opening to midday UK time (which will be 8pm in UTC+9), to accommodate as much of the world as possible. It's even a reasonable time on the east coast of the US, if you like an early start 😃. 

To get a reminder about the exhibition launch why not sign up to our Facebook event:

Each year we hold a student competition to find the image to be used for all promotional material, and this year it was won by Louise Wells BA (Hons) Contemporary Art & Design (Yr3). You can see Louise’s dynamic image incorporated into all #WUCshow2020 designs. Congratulations Louise!
