Sheffield’s Department of Landscape is consistently ranked among the UK’s very best. Staff in the department are award-winning designers in their own right. Many of them are involved in high-profile projects to transform urban areas in Sheffield, London and elsewhere.
As a student, you will take part in projects too, developing ideas in a studio environment. There’s a strong emphasis on practical skills such as teamwork and project management. The course also includes national and international field trips.
