What this course is about
UCAS code: KK13
Here's what University of Sheffield says about its Architecture and Landscape course.
Gain two professional qualifications, in architecture and landscape architecture, with this unique three year honours degree. The dual degree course is an exciting and challenging programme which explores the integrated design of buildings and the wider landscape environment.
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 architecture and landscape architecture 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.
Recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects as giving exemption from part 1.
Landscape Institute accreditation allows graduates to pursue their professional qualification in landscape architecture and become a licentiate Member of the Landscape Institute, ready to start their Pathway to Chartership and become a Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute (CMLI).

University of Sheffield open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
