BA in Architecture & Landscape (ARCU102)

BA Architecture and Landscape (RIBA and LI Part 1) 

The dual Architecture and Landscape Architecture course provides a unique opportunity for students to graduate with professional qualifications in both disciplines. The course framework offers a creative and diverse environment for students to develop their own critical approach to multi disciplinary themes. The programme of integrated study makes for highly employable graduates with truly holistic and critical awareness of the built environment. 

The dual Architecture and Landscape course takes advantage of the close relationship between two of the country’s leading architecture and landscape architecture courses. The course has run for over twenty years and produces highly skilled alumni working at leading UK and international practices. 

The course is the only one of its kind in the UK and has an international reputation for its unique status for urban design and environmental teaching. Students are taught in both the architecture and the landscape departments, but the intention is that work done in one department should inspire and inform the work in the other. The aim is to explore ways in which architectural design and landscape architecture complement each other. The degree can lead to a specialism in either profession, though it seems more likely that graduates will follow a career path that makes use of the whole range of their skills. 

The host department for this programme is the School of Architecture, and Howard Evans (ext. 20385) is the programme coordinator working with Andrew Clayden in the Department of Landscape. Immediate contacts are with the Year Tutors in Architecture and the Module Coordinators in Landscape. The programme is validated by the RIBA for exemption from RIBA Part 1, prescribed by ARB and validated by the Landscape Institute. The programme leads on to the dual Masters in Architecture and Landscape Architecture course, also at the University of Sheffield.

Generally modules beginning LSC are delivered in the Department of Landscape. Students should consult the Course Handbook for Landscape for a full description of those modules. The exception is LSC 136 which is taught in the architecture studio together with the mainstream architecture students. Detailed module handbooks are available from your module leaders (for ARC modules) or the Department of Landscape (for LSC modules).
