Sheffield Hallam University (SHU)

Sheffield Hallam University is great in that we are not only taught how to be good architects but we are being pushed to be great 'environmental' architects. We are learning how to build and design sustainable structures and we are being taught alongside that, how to be very aesthetic and very functionalist. The lecturers are very helpful in showing us precedents and examples of good sustainable architecture. We learn about techniques which can minimise the use of energy to keep a building cool during the summer and warm during the winter. The course also integrates necessary software design, meaning that once you graduate, you leave with a well rounded knowledge of architecture from deigning on paper to designing on software and from designing an aesthetic functionalist exterior to designing a pleasing interior.

Upon taking my BA degree in Film & Media Production I was met with incredibly knowledgeable and passionate lecturers who helped make the course that much more enjoyable. 
The facilities are well maintained and the equipment for students to hire out for their projects are above average, allowing you to partake in all activities effectively enough.

The university approaches most modules in a more practical way rather than a purely theoretical way and I think that is really useful for the students, it makes it easier to engage and you really feel that you are learning something.
