I enjoy the broad spectrum of design skills and the atmosphere of studio work.

Max studied his Part 1 BA Architecture here at Sheffield, and chose to return for his Part 2 course because of the encouraging tutors and peers, as well as the city of Sheffield's green spaces.

Live Projects are an amazing experience and the closest thing you'll get to being in practice whilst at uni
