PGDip LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

UEL’s professional landscape architecture programmes build your skills for a future career in landscape architecture in the context of key issues in contemporary life – city expansion, migration and displacement, diversity, inequality, competition for resources, climate change, food security.
We challenge you to consider your understanding of what landscape is about, what it can and should do. You’ll learn through design studio, site visits, and by interaction with professionals and academics across a range of spatial and environmental disciplines, as well as getting hands on, with the practicalities of building now, for existing needs with real clients and communities.
We support you to develop your own personal attitude to landscape design, to express yourself spatially, to investigate ideas with passion and commitment. We work in tandem with architecture and urban design students, who investigate the same sites through a different lens, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary working, as well as individual expression.

With increased focus on environmental issues, and on building healthy communities, landscape architects are more in demand professionally, nationally and internationally. There is a high industry employment rate. Our graduates perform well within the field, achieving recognition and industry awards, and employment in practices in the UK and overseas. Several gain employment as a direct result of our shadowing placements. Our School has links with a range of professional practices, and will give you invaluable experience of working collaboratively with other disciplines, on live projects and with professionals in a practice setting.
All of our postgraduate landscape courses have full accreditation from the Landscape Institute.

Minimum 2.1 Degree in any subject
