      The School of Architecture at the University of Sheffield was established in 1907 and since then has built up an enviable reputation for excellence. It is widely recognised as one of the top schools of architecture in the United Kingdom. It aims to combine an international reputation for research with a vigorous and critical debate about the future of architecture. In the latest government assessments of education, the school was judged as a 5A in research and an 'excellent' in teaching. This is the highest level of achievement achieved by any UK School of Architecture. The School attracts high calibre students on all its courses, creating a stimulating environment for the study and research of architecture. The School has over 400 students and a very lively student society which organises an evening lecture series and social events. Students from Sheffield have consistently won prizes in national and international competitions over the past ten years, including the RIBA Presidents Medals, British Steel and Oasys Awards. . The Diploma in Architecture has recently been restructured to make it more definitively post-graduate and vocational in its orientation, and also to specifically differentiate it from the undergraduate learning experience. The course acknowledges that architectural practice is a diverse field and prepares for this diversity through a combination of transferable analytic skills in research and synthetic design skills. Students are encouraged to develop a specialist interest in their final year. The course is based around a number (presently six) of vertical studios, each run by a full-time member of academic staff. These studios investigate architectural themes in depth; the themes develop out of the studio leaders' own research interests. The aim is to consider design within the context of rigorous and innovative research. This implies that the product of the studio courses will extend beyond the comprehensive design of a building and into other areas such as consultation, historical analysis, technical innovation or cultural investigation. The vertical studios are supported by a number of other courses that are common to all students. Fifth year commences with a joint urban study which introduces students to research methodology within the context of Sheffield. Students then join one of the vertical studios. These studios are supplemented by courses in Advanced Environmental Design and Architectural Management, the latter of which forms the introduction to the RIBA Part 3 recognised Certificate in Professional Practice. Humanities in the fifth year is delivered through forum sessions in which distinguished architects and critics are invited to address a specific architectural issue. Fifth year students also work on a 10,000-15,000 word dissertation, which is tutored by a chosen member of staff. Sixth year commences with short design projects, which often use real clients and briefs. The aim is to provide skills in brief management, client consultation and live presentation. After this students join one of the vertical studios. Normally this will be different from the one chosen in fifth year, but in some circumstances students will be allowed to stay with the same studio. The sixth year design project is developed to a more resolved and thorough level than the fifth year, and is supported by an in-depth design report which covers the background research and the chosen design methodology, as well as analyses of the brief and site. In addition, students prepare for a technical report through intensive masterclasses run by leading experts in specialist technical areas. Following completion of the Diploma in Architecture, which brings with it exemption from RIBA Part 2, students may develop their dissertation into a 20,000 word Masters thesis, which is normally submitted in the spring following completion of the Diploma. Successful candidates are awarded the degree of MArch. The Certificate in Professional Practice, which gives exemption from Part 3 of the RIBA Examination, is presently only open to students who have graduated from the Sheffield Diploma course. Preparation for the examination is carried out during the final year in professional practice, and consists of a number of three-day seminars and revision sessions. Examination is by submission of case study and appraisal of professional experience, together with an office based examination. The University of Sheffield have entered a partnership agreement with De Montfort University to share the delivery of the seminars. This consortium will enable the course to attract some of the leading experts in the field. (all above are copied from the website: www.shef.ac.uk) ***about what I heard*** Sheffield is one of the best university in the field of architecture (architecture design). The courses are well orgainzed. There are 6 studios in the diploma program. Most of the stuido leaders are architects. I will paste more information about the diploma of Architecture soon.
