MA MLA Landscape Architecture

These two creative and reflective Master's degrees consider interventions in the landscape through imaginative design, strategic thinking and technical knowledge.

With design-led teaching and learning, these two accredited Master's programmes allow students to progress towards a career as a landscape architect. Students work to put their theories into practice from week one, researching through speculative design.

Both programmes are 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 crisis. The core priority of the Landscape Architecture programmes 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.

In both programmes, Design Studios form a core component, giving students the opportunity to work independently or in groups to develop their own approach to landscape architecture. Within the Design Studios, tutors present unique, rigorous, challenging and even radical intellectual positions, providing a strong identity for students to use as the basis for developing their own approach to the contemporary study of landscape architecture.
