'As an undergraduate I struggled with living and other costs. I wouldn't want to do that again,' says Kudzai Chirimuuta. She is one of the first cohort of apprentice-trained architects who took their places here last year. Working at Foster and Partners while studying one day a week, she will have her Part 2 and Part 3 under her belt in four years. 'I don't see university as a "negative debt" but you notice that there are students who have money to make amazing models while you have to make do with cardboard.' She continues: 'I feel apprenticeships level that out; I'm working so I can afford to pay for it. And I am working on projects at the same time and getting real life skills.'
