About the course

From the smallest garden, to large-scale urban development and rewilded country estates, landscape architecture embraces all aspects of the science, planning, design, creation and management of urban and rural environments.

　　This integrated, five year masters degree has been created by the UK’s only independent Department of Landscape Architecture, and includes a built-in year in practice.

　　You’ll study with experts specialising in a wide range of landscape disciplines, so wherever your interests lie – from planting design to national parks – we have academics who can support your professional ambitions.

　　You’ll receive broad training in landscape theories and creative techniques and choose whether to specialise in ecology or planning. And in year four, you’ll experience what it’s like to be a professional, and start thinking about the type of practice you aspire to work in.

　　Your final year helps to consolidate your skills and knowledge and culminates with a creative design project, tailored to your personal and professional interests. You’ll finish your degree by showing your work to prospective employers at our end of year exhibition.

　　Undergraduate benefits - as a MLA Landscape Architecture student, you'll remain registered with the University for all five years of the course, which means you’ll be eligible to apply for undergraduate funding, as well as enjoy any discounts and benefits associated with being a student, during these years.

　　Fully accredited by the Landscape Institute - you’ll be able to become a licentiate member of the Landscape Institute and begin your Pathway to Chartership once you graduate.

　　Global community - on graduation you’ll join our global community of alumni who, at last count, are practising in over 70 countries worldwide. Access to this network gives you an immediate connection to established professionals in a wide range of practices. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
