About the School of Architecture and Landscape

The School of Architecture and Landscape was formed in 2024 as the result of a merger between the School of Architecture and the Department of Landscape Architecture.

The school sits high up in one of Sheffield's most recognisable buildings - the Arts Tower.

Offering unrivalled views across our green city and beyond, the Arts Tower’s light and airy studios promote collaborative working and a sense of community.

Through our teaching, research and partnerships we engage with real societal and environmental issues. Our staff and students work with a range of clients including local community groups, charities, health organisations and regional authorities, to develop practical solutions to real world challenges.

Our global community of alumni practise in more than 70 countries worldwide. They include some of the leading names in the fields of architecture and landscape architecture, and regularly return to Sheffield to deliver guest lectures and workshops.

Courses and accreditation

We educate our students to be knowledgeable, open, enquiring and critically aware. This will enable them to lead and change the profession over the next 50 years.

Accreditation guarantees a high standard of education and ensures that our students are equipped with cutting-edge skills.

We offer more landscape architecture courses than any institution in the UK.

All of our undergraduate landscape architecture degrees are fully accredited by the Landscape Institute and the International Federation of Landscape Architects. We also offer the only Landscape Institute-accredited management masters in the UK.

We offer a wide range of professional as well as academic degree programmes in architecture, and our professional courses are fully accredited by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
