The Architectural Association (AA), one of the oldest schools of architecture in the UK, was founded in 1847 with the aspiration of ‘promoting and affording facilities for the study of architecture for the public benefit’. Since 1847, the AA has been committed to producing and disseminating ideas that challenge and advance the design of contemporary culture, cities and the environment, constantly and fearlessly looking into the future. The AA is committed to extending the support it offers to help ensure that the most talented students are able to study at the school, regardless of their financial means. Currently one in five students receives financial support from a scholarship, bursary, student assistantship or the AA Hardship Fund. The school aims to increase the funding available and to introduce fully-paid scholarships for the most deserving students who would otherwise not be able to study at the AA.

Top issues to fix

11 issues found · 2 high priority

  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

    Security

    Add HSTS so browsers always use HTTPS — this closes the protocol-downgrade attack window.

  • Missing Content-Security-Policy header

    Security

    Add a CSP to control which sources can run scripts — the strongest single defense against XSS.

  • Missing X-Content-Type-Options header

    Security

    Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to stop MIME-sniffing attacks.

  • Missing X-Frame-Options header

    Security

    Add X-Frame-Options (or a CSP frame-ancestors rule) to prevent clickjacking via hidden iframes.

  • Meta description longer than 160 characters

    SEO

    Trim the meta description to under 160 characters to avoid truncation in search results.

  • Missing canonical link

    SEO

    Add <link rel="canonical"> so search engines know which URL variant to index.
