Master of Landscape Architecture

The Master of Landscape Architecture gives landscape architects a chance to further their skills, investigate new design techniques and collaborate with other professionals. While it is open to bachelors degree graduates, the programme has been specifically developed to enable practising landscape architects to study part-time, learn new techniques, sharpen their design skills and update on current theory.

The degree is 'by project', which means that you undertake a design project based on an aspect of your landscape architecture practice to date. There is no coursework, and the programme's focus on design is supported by a strong contemporary theoretical framework.

Each year, you take part in several design workshops, at which you present your work in progress for critique and evaluation by invited international landscape architects, architects and designers. Two supervisors are appointed, to help you achieve your design goals.
