Discover Architecture and the Built Environment
What is Discover Architecture and the Built Environment?
Discover Architecture and the Built Environment is a programme of events created by the University of Sheffield for Year 12 students in local schools and colleges, to introduce them to this specialised subject.
If you think you have creative flair, and want to find out more about studying architecture at our University, this programme will give you the chance to experience what it´s like. We can also introduce you to courses such as Structural Engineering and Architecture as well as the full range of architecture courses at The University of Sheffield.
You can learn about university life from our current architecture undergraduates and we´ll support you with your application to study architecture at university.
You get the chance to
- Meet and work with other local students interested in the environment they live in and work together on practical projects
- Visit the university and get a guided tour from one of our current undergraduates
- Meet our admissions tutors and talk to architects
- Attend Revision and Exam Techniques sessions as well as Academic Study Skills sessions to help with the transition to university
- Get advice about applying to university
- Experience architecture taster sessions and team building activities
- Work with our architecture students to find out about their journey to university and what student life is like for them.
How often do I need to attend?
We´ve planned the events so that you don´t need to be away from school or college for more than two days each term.
Some activities, especially visits to other organisations or cities, may take place during your school holidays. We expect you to attend all the events unless there are special circumstances.
Do I have to pay to take part?
No, the Discover Architecture and the Built Environment programme is completely free.
