The MA Landscape Architecture programme is designed for individuals interested in becoming professional Landscape Architects. Graduates from the programme have joined some of London’s leading landscape practices, have founded award-winning international design studios and have led strategic urban design projects such as the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
The core component of the MA Landscape Architecture programme is the design studio, where students engage with landscape, urbanism, agriculture and infrastructure projects in the UK and abroad. With a team of academics and practitioners, the students develop their design projects through tutorials and design reviews. Students are supported in the development of innovative and distinct approaches to landscape architecture, reflected in the final design project and dissertation thesis. Design teaching is informed by comprehensive technical and theoretical seminars and guest lectures from international artists, designers and academics. Students are also encouraged to engage fully with the design and digital studios, 14 green roofs and the workshops of the new Stockwell Street building throughout the programme.
Direct entry to the MA Landscape Architecture requires a design portfolio as well as completion of either the PGCert Landscape Design or BA (Hons) Landscape Architecture. The MA is part of a Landscape Institute accredited route to becoming a professional Landscape Architect.
