Landscape Architecture MA is an accredited master’s course committed to climate-focused landscape design and environmental stewardship. It equips you with the technical skills and knowledge needed to respond innovatively to ecological, urban and social challenges through your work with natural and built environments. The course will enable you to progress towards a career as a Chartered Landscape Architect.


You will be prepared to address sustainability and respond to current challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change and ecological crises.


Design-led teaching is central to the course, and Design Studios form a core component. This structure gives you the opportunity to develop your own approach to landscape architecture. Within the Studios, tutors present unique, rigorous, challenging, and even radical intellectual positions, providing a strong identity for students working individually and in groups, with field and site study trips giving you the opportunity to explore real-world environments.


You will engage in design-led research, developing your thinking through speculative and practice-based projects, history and theory lectures, seminars and readings, examining the interdependence of thought, action and form in history, society, culture and geography.


Landscape Architecture is available to study via two different courses, taught across one or two years. This Landscape Architecture MA course is taught full-time over one year, for students who already have a UK landscape architecture undergraduate degree, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. The Landscape Architecture MLA is taught full-time over two years, acting as a conversion course for students without a landscape architecture undergraduate degree. MLA students typically come from related backgrounds such as geography, ecology, urban studies, architecture and other design-based disciplines.
