Using a maths degree to help improve outcomes for refugees

I want to work on some of society’s toughest problems and play a part in trying to find a solution.

Reimagining museums: interior architecture students create interactive QR code trail

Final-year Interior Architecture students collaborated with Brighton & Hove Museums on a new interactive QR code trail that reshapes how visitors experience and understand museum artefacts. 

Using historical artefacts at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, our students have created an interactive QR code trail that re-imagines how these objects are presented – offering visitors a fresh way to explore the past and experience history in new, meaningful ways. 

By scanning QR codes on select artefacts, visitors can uncover re-imagined spaces created by students. These spaces reflect the artefacts’ origins and cultural significance, their journey to UK museums, and the voices that have been overlooked. Launching on 29 March and running until 14 May 2025, the trail makes history more interactive, inviting people to question and engage rather than just observe.
