Sheffield Graduates
University of Sheffield graduates are valued for their enterprising approach to real-world problems. The University has identified 12 key attributes and skills of The Sheffield Graduate, which derive both from their first-rate education and their commitment to extra-curricular activities.
Landscape graduates from Sheffield display these qualities in distinctive ways, such as:
- possessing both breadth and specialisation in knowledge
- applying skills and knowledge to the real world
- understanding the value of research for questioning received wisdom, understanding precedents, solving problems, and seeking imaginative solutions
- excellent command of industry standard software
- awareness of ethics in research and practice
- creative and innovative responses to complex project briefs
- developing a wide range of transferable skills cultivated through project work
- possessing skills in ‘reflective practice’, in preparation for the LI Pathway to Chartership
