NUS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE is a core programme of Asia’s premier school of design and the built environment. Starting from the inception of the Master of Landscape Architecture in 2009, NUS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE has grown to also offer the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, marking an exciting milestone for tertiary-level landscape architecture education in Singapore. NUS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE provides the only tertiary-level programmes that qualify graduates for accreditation as a practicing landscape architect in Singapore through the Landscape Architects Accreditation Programme of the Singapore Institute of Landscape Architects. (more information can be found here).

The core emphasis of NUS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE is excellence in design—we imbue our students with a deep understanding of the dual nature of design as both a process and a product. As a process, we prioritize landscape design to be creative, but one which is grounded in socio-cultural sensitivities, ecological knowledge, and grasp of conventional and emergent technologies and techniques. Design as a process benefits from synergistic knowledge exchange among multiple disciplines in NUS as one of the top research intensive universities in Asia and the world. As a product, landscape design expressed through various visual and digital media, must be inspiring, move the heart, and above all, instigate meaningful and impactful landscape changes in real life.

The programme is distinctively Asian and pantropical in its geographic attention and urban in its emphasis. With our central location in one of the most dynamic, diverse and rapidly urbanizing regions of the world, we aim to provide a landscape architecture education that is sensitive to the myriad challenges facing Asian cities, as well as opportunities provided by the sheer richness of heritage and cultural, socio-economic and ecological elements of the region. Our location in Singapore, with its diversity of culture and cosmopolitan outlook, and where greening and ecology of the built environment is a cornerstone of its urban development approach, also provides an enriching backdrop to our training of landscape architects.

As we move into the Ecological Age, where the environment and nature increasingly become prioritized in land-use developments, landscape architects are well-poised to play a critical role in shaping an environment that affects the large majority of the world’s population. To that end, we train our students to design, build and manage design projects of different scales and context. Our graduates are expected to navigate the demands of the profession, and the dynamism and challenges the environment presents, and to be leaders and stewards in shaping a liveable, sustainable and resilient environment.
