BArch Architecture

Sheffield Hallam University

Course overview

The BArch Architecture at Sheffield Hallam University is designed to enable students to develop the fundamental skills needed to combine both construction and design, focusing not only on the creation of the built environment but also on the structuring of space in and around it

You will develop practical and technical skills – including proficiency in various modelling software, from Computer Aided Design (CAD) to Building Information Modelling (BIM). These tools enable you to explore designs and create data-rich environments, enhancing your capabilities as an architect.

Students will engage in team-based projects within the design studio environment, with an opportunity to work across disciplines in an innovative collaborative project module. They will also work with real clients on design projects, allowing them to bring out their practical skills and make tangible contributions to the world.

In their final year, students will research a topic of their choice, enabling them to master the investigation, data analysis and reporting skills they will need in professional practice. This combination of practice-focused learning and industry issues will make them stand out to employers, preparing them to become confident graduates.
