This space provides a gallery for those who are currently studying in various design disciplines to show their work. Each student is able to display their contact details, email link and links to various online facilities.
The gallery also highlights the names of those who are about to graduate and are looking for employment. This is a valuable directory for consultancies and in-house design teams who are looking to recruit new young talent.
You can view the profiles of CSD student members by main design disciplines as listed in the menu.
The Society offers student e-membership to those studying design in all disciplines.
One of the major benefits is to be able to refer to yourself as a 'Student Member of the Chartered Society of Designers' which will add value to your CV when seeking employment. The Society is the only professional body for designers in all disciplines that holds a Royal Charter and is recognised across the world.
There are many other benefits to e-membership, including a professional social networking space on the CSD Linkedin site, regular tips for students, special student Portfolio Gym sessions, a regular CSD student newsletter, special book and event offers, and news of placements. CSD student members are also able to attend CSD Focus Groups.
As a CSD student member you will also be part of the design profession and associated with some of the most notable players in design. Of course, you are also able to display your work and contact details in this gallery.
