The ISTD Student Assessment is now in its 36th year and is cited as a model of academic thoroughness and professionalism.
The Assessment is unlike any other. It considers the holistic project achievement – not just the final proposal. The overall design process of research, reflection, strategy, design development, technical and production specification is assessed by teams of practicing designers and educators. We demand this rigorous approach to ensure that the standards required for ISTD membership are met and that the award maintains its significance.
