About

Course description

Why study this course?

World-leading accreditation

The course is accredited by the Landscape Institute (LI), the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and Architects Registration Board (ARB), making it the only such course in the world.

Uniquely employable

The profession is keen to employ graduates from the course because of their unique dual educational experience. The course has run for over 20 years and produces highly skilled alumni, working at some leading UK and globally significant architectural and landscape practices.

Gain a professional qualification from the Royal Institute of British Architects, Architects Registration Board and the Landscape Institute, with the first integrated degree of its kind in the world.

Studying architecture and landscape architecture at Sheffield offers a unique opportunity to become a leading architect, landscape architect or urban designer of the future. The programme leads to qualifications in both disciplines, making for highly employable graduates with truly holistic and critical awareness of the built environment.

In the first year you will develop proposals for a small residential building in a public landscape. By the third year the building and its environment will be more complex and will focus on a substantial piece of urban design. You will hone your critical thinking skills and ability to synergise information as you work with two different perspectives on the same project.

Teaching is delivered by staff from both departments at the forefront of their field, informing a rich learning environment, and inspiring your studio-based design projects. This dual course has been running for over 20 years. A programme of lectures and assessments across the two disciplines has been carefully curated to ensure you get the best out of the dual experience.
