Objectives
The MA in Landscape Studies offers opportunities for students from a variety of backgrounds to gain basic knowledge, understanding and skills in Landscape Architecture. The programme does not provide a full professional training in Landscape Architecture and is not accredited by the Landscape Institute. It does, however, allow you to explore aspects of landscape architecture and also to tailor your studies, through a dissertation, to pursue landscape topics that are of particular interest and relevance to you. It is possible for students who successfully complete the coursework to join the second year of the professionally accredited MA Landscape Architecture, with the approval of the Head of Department.
