It was so enjoyable. The facilities are modern and so nice. I live at home so I don't want to come in for a few hours for societies and the clubs.

The course is structured so that two studios run in parallel. The first studio design series is explored as a process led narrative that develops theory and builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in your degree. The format of studio learning is continued with an increased emphasis on research and design experimentation. These include research-led design projects relating to public health and well-being, habitat creation and biodiversity, and climate change resilience, settlement design, food security and large infrastructure schemes like High Speed 2 (HS2) and systems scale interventions. The ethos of the course is that landscape is a sequence of interrelated designed environments that provides the scope for a design laboratory connected by land, ecology, water, climate and infrastructure, linked to a cultural context that extends from parish to global political and economic systems.
You will build on your existing skills and develop creative, artistic, technical and intellectual abilities through a range of design projects that explore contemporary issues and problems. The learning experience reflects the diversity of projects which grow in scale and complexity whilst gaining an understanding of the design process and attainment of professional level communication skills.
Our links to practices and our Co.Lab partners offer an opportunity for being involved in the complex nature and the challenges of being a landscape architect in the real world, to collaborate with local stakeholders and institutions and work alongside colleagues across the university and involves projects that facilitate Landscape Institute policy.
