Urban design professionals are in demand. Students will develop design skills that relate to a broader social, environmental and economic context, so they can link individual architectural projects with overall planning strategies.
Students will be encouraged to critically examine the key urban development challenges that cities are facing today. They will explore local urban areas in Sheffield and compare these areas with other UK and international contexts in Europe as well as in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They will also investigate the role of designers and citizens in the processes of city making.
Central to the course is a design studio project, and core modules on urban design theory and practice. Students can explore a range of themes through optional modules and they will take part in study trips and thematic workshops.
The University of Sheffield is one of the UK's top architecture schools. Their international research projects shape policy and address public and professional needs. Sheffield students will engage with real issues affecting the built environment. They will be encouraged to provide social and environmental solutions to the challenges of our time.
