International Projects

Roles and practices with genuine overseas work. How to check you would actually get on those projects.

Knowledge

International projects, in plain terms.

International projects as a benefit means access to work beyond the UK: different climates, cultures, planning systems and construction cultures, all of which stretch a designer in ways domestic work cannot.

Access is the real question. Many practices list overseas work in the portfolio but staff it from a small senior team, so ask which studios deliver it and how people earn a place on those projects. Travel expectations vary just as widely.

This hub gathers the roles and practices advertising international projects as part of their offer.

  • It widens your range

  • Ask who gets on them

    Ask which studios run the international work and how teams are chosen for it.

  • Travel varies hugely

    Travel expectations vary: some roles visit site monthly, others never leave the studio.
