Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Landscape Architecture

Program Overview

Do you want to design the spaces around you? Landscape architecture involves crafting outdoor environments that blend art, functionality, and natural systems. You could create parks, playgrounds, green spaces, town squares, or even entire cities! A Landscape Architect's role is to create suitable and inclusive spaces for all users. So, if you have ideas for improving the world around you, Landscape Architecture offers an opportunity to explore them.

As a Landscape Architect, you will respond to real-world problems and challenges, such as improving air quality, food security and water management, offsetting carbon footprints, and reducing energy waste. The outdoor environment also has significant links to well-being and mental health, and you could be at the heart of designing sustainable urban living that will benefit society for years to come.

During your time with us, you will engage with various design and research processes and consider the potential of working with nature and the built environment at multiple scales - from detailing intimate courtyards to regional spatial and ecological strategies.

What's covered in this course?

Covering all aspects of Landscape Architecture, our course is fully recognised and accredited by the Landscape Institute (LI) and supported by a team of leaders in the field.
We embrace a creative studio culture, which mirrors professional working practices and is supported by work placements to prepare you for your future career. We encourage and support our students in competing for industry awards.

During your study, you will be part of collaborative architecture and design initiatives, giving you the opportunity to work on a diverse variety of live projects. Recent examples include urban revival in Brindleyplace, exploring the 15-minute campus concept, and the award-winning grass-roots community engagement in Bangladesh.

We host a programme of lectures and workshops from a large variety of renowned international professionals, from Martha Schwartz to Andrew Grant and Bruno Marques.

The Landscape Architecture course is based in our Parkside Building, overlooking Eastside Park on our multi-million-pound City Centre Campus; providing access to digital studios, 3D design workshops, traditional print, ceramics, metal and woodworking spaces.
