The University of Sheffield is ranked number one in the subject area of Landscape Design for “teaching on my course” and “learning resources”. The National Student Survey (NSS) allows undergraduate students to share feedback on their university experience and the quality of their courses.
For the second year in a row, The University of Sheffield has also been placed number one in the Russell Group in the overall rankings.
The NSS results follow Sheffield being voted University of the Year by students, as well as Best Students’ Union and Best Student Life in this year’s Whatuni Student Choice Awards.
Professor Helen Woolley, Head of Department of Landscape Architecture, said: "This National Student Survey result affirms that our students experience the best education for Landscape Design in the country. This is because of the commitment of the staff involved in teaching as well as the professional services, media, IT and technical staff who work with the academics. Academic staff inform their teaching by their research across the planning, design and management of landscapes, and practitioners bring an additional layer of expertise to the education experience. Our network of employers enhances the education experience providing opportunities to meet and learn from professionals in small to large multi-disciplinary practices."
Professor Mary Vincent, Vice-President for Education at the University of Sheffield, said: “We are so pleased that our students have rated their experience at Sheffield so highly again this year. The NSS is one of the many ways that we seek feedback from our students and listen to their views on their life at the University. Whilst we are delighted with these results, we are determined to provide the very best education and will keep working hard, together with our Students’ Union, to ensure studying at Sheffield remains a rewarding experience.”
