Course summary

This creative and reflective two-year Master's degree welcomes students without a landscape architecture undergraduate degree and offers an accredited path to a career as a landscape architect. The Landscape Architecture MLA prepares students to shape both urban and rural environments for a more sustainable future. Landscape Architecture MLA is an accredited Master’s course that enables students to progress towards a career as a Chartered Landscape Architect. From the very first week, students engage in design-led research, developing their thinking through speculative and practice-based projects. The course is committed to an agenda of climate-focused landscape design and environmental stewardship, preparing students to address sustainability and deal with real-world challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, and ecological crises. The main priority of the Landscape Architecture MLA is to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to innovatively respond to ecological, urban, and social challenges through their work with natural and built environments. The Master's degree is design-led, with Design Studios at its core. These Studios provide students with the opportunity to develop their own distinctive approach to landscape architecture through hands-on, creative exploration. Each Studio is guided by tutors who bring unique, rigorous, and sometimes radical intellectual perspectives, challenging students to think critically and innovatively. Working both individually and collaboratively, students engage deeply with real-world environments, supported by fieldwork and site visits that enrich their understanding and inform their design practice. Design teaching is complemented with history and theory lectures, seminars, and readings, examining the interdependence of thought, action, and form in history, society, culture, and geography. Students refine their communication skills through seminar presentations, written work, design reviews, and exhibitions. A series of workshops and classes are available to help students gain integral skills, from planting and horticulture to digital skills and GIS.
