Course General Description

All three years of this degree course are divided approximately equally between lecture courses and a creative, studio-based culture. Projects develop in scale and complexity until the major design project at the end of the third year, which addresses a range of cultural, technological, conceptual and representational ideas. The course will provide a balance of theory, design work and professional experience. You'll carry out much of your work in the design studio which acts as a laboratory for trialling creative and critical ideas, and for developing fundamental architectural skills. Lectures and design teaching are delivered by people at the forefront of their field.

School General Description

The University of Sheffield was envisioned as a place where knowledge would transform lives for the better. And its purpose remains the same, with the strategy to – as necessary – always be ready to reconfigure around this need. Sheffield prides itself on its open and pragmatic approach to scholarship - one that is intended to serve not only the needs of the academic community, but the wider world. The University takes its public and social responsibility seriously; it is committed to making the world a better place. This approach is embedded in everything, from partnerships forged with local and global organisations to the research conducted and teaching imparted.
