Having recently completed her first year of studying for a BArch (Hons) Bachelor of Architecture with Honours at the University of Lincoln, Sophie joined our team in Wellingore Hall to get some practical experience, before returning to begin her second year on the course.

A Summer to Remember

Sophie started her summer placement with us at the beginning of July, and what was initially a short-term work experience quickly turned into a full summer placement.

Reflecting on her time with us, Sophie shared:

“My experience at Waldeck has been incredibly rewarding. I highly recommend a summer placement to any university student. The hands-on project work and collaborative atmosphere have been invaluable in allowing me to apply my academic knowledge to real-world situations. It’s also been a fantastic opportunity to grow and develop my skills.

“The team have been really welcoming, I’ve also been invited along to some industry networking events and team days out, which has been interesting and fun.”

A Promising Future in Architecture

Associate Architect, David Foster, who has been Sophie’s mentor during her placement, shared:

“As Sophie returns to university for her second year, we’re confident she’ll continue to excel in her studies and future pursuits. During her time with us, she has demonstrated the passion and talent essential for success in architecture, while also acquiring new skills such as Revit and point cloud scanning.

“We’re proud to have been part of Sophie’s initial journey and are excited to see where her architectural career leads her. Thank you for your contributions, Sophie, and keep up the great work!”
