Architecture BA student Sophie Turner

Architecture and Design Show 2025: Sophie Turner, Architecture BA(Hons)

Brighton is like a home away from home and will always be a big part of my late teens and early 20s. I am grateful for the support and opportunities the university itself has given me and for the people I have met here.

As part of this year’s graduate summer shows, we are chatting with some of our final-year students to hear more about the projects they are currently working on.

The Art and Design Summer show features the work of final year students studying architecture, interior architecture, design engineering, sustainable design, interior design, fashion history, product design, and art and design history.

We recently caught up with Sophie, who is studying Architecture BA(Hons), to hear more about her work, influences and the valuable experience she has gained at Brighton.

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.

Brighton student’s NFL dreams boosted by coveted spot on GB men’s American football team


A University of Brighton sports scholar, Herculas Pretorius, has been called up to Great Britain’s senior men’s American football team after success with his university team.

Herculas, who is a second-year Mechanical Engineering BEng(Hons) student at Brighton, is the youngest player to be named on the 45-man squad of the GB American football team. This follows his impressive showing at separate rounds of trials with the national men’s senior team

As a beneficiary of the University of Brighton’s Talented Sports Performers programme, Herculas’ journey into the British American football team began at the Brighton Panthers where he plays as a linebacker.

Computing project exhibition 2024: Istvan Hanzo, Computer Science with Cyber Security

Studying and working with lecturers and other students has been a great experience. The good relationships I developed with my lecturers really stood out and made my experience more memorable. It genuinely felt like they do what they do because they enjoy teaching, and they are good at it, which is truly motivating.

Tell us a bit about your project.
I had two different ideas for my final year project. One was an application for tracking online user activity based on browser fingerprints and integrating AI to create user profiles based on this – a similar concept to how personalised advertisements work – and the other one was creating a password manager application that uses passwordless authentication. I am interested in these topics because they both apply modern technologies to address cyber security problems without compromising privacy or usability.

The final product was influenced by both ideas. Choosing Password Spray attacks as the main aim of detection was a great challenge, as it already bypasses basic defence mechanisms, and even large companies like Microsoft are falling victim of it. The final product – if enhanced further – could either function as a vulnerability testing mechanism to audit the effectiveness of existing security protocols, or as an additional function embedded in an existing Intrusion Detection System (IDS) or Intrusion Prevention System (IPS).
