OUR AMAZING ALUMNI Rachel Churcher Author FdSc Architectural Technology, Class of 2013 When I started my Foundation Degree in Architectural Technology at UCS, I was excited about retraining as an Architectural Technologist, and using my skills to help other people improve their homes. I had completed a major house renovation before I moved to Suffolk, and I wanted to be able to turn my hobby into a career. I graduated in 2013, and went on to renovate three more properties. My training gave me the confidence to decide what to work on myself, and when to bring in specialists. It helped me stand up to builders and contractors, and to make sure everything was completed to a high standard. So am I working as an Architectural Technologist in 2020? Not exactly. Thinking back, my project on Zombie-Proof Housing might provide the clues to my current career. Most of the students on the FdSc course were studying on day release
