Writtle School of Design (WSD)
Writtle College has a design school (WSD), which was voted 4th in the country by the Guardian League Table in 2012.
WSD specialises in areas such as landscape and garden design, landscape architecture, interior design and architecture and contemporary art and design. The landscape based courses offered by WSD are accredited by the Landscape Institute.
The school has three unique design studios that students use, providing them with their own space to express their ideas and designs.
Recently WSD designed a temporary radio structure at the College and transmitted a set of live art broadcasts.
Annually, WSD holds an end of year exhibition that celebrates the final pieces of third year undergraduate students. Students present their pieces of art to potential employers, family and friends. This event is open to the public and takes place in May.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or design:
“Anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums ... who find prison so soul-destroying.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
