Tim Moscovitch

Tim was born in Leicester, son of Norah (nee Sullivan), a nurse, and Morris, a machine technologist. He was educated at Kibworth Beauchamp grammar school, then studied textile design at Loughborough University, where he met his future wife, Jan Strudwick. He graduated with a first-class degree in 1969 and was awarded a Master’s degree from the Royal College of Art in London two years later. Jan and Tim married in 1971, and established a design consultancy together in Huddersfield.

When Tim returned to the University as Professor of Design his remit was to develop the school which only had around 300 students. Tim wrote many new courses and developed overseas franchises with Singapore, India, Hong Kong, Cyprus and Russia plus collaborative projects with Ecuador, china and India until the school grew to approximately 2,000 students and consequently the big new Creative Arts building was built.
