Landscape Architecture is one of the professions responsible for the design of the built environment. It is an expression of our cultural and natural heritage and provides a dialogue at the interface between them. Landscape Architecture using both reason and imagination, is always conceived and realised in the context of material, environmental, social, cultural and historical parameters.

Course programme
Design work focuses on spatial concepts, exploration, function, planning and representation. You will also study drawing, IT, art and design, visual culture, physical geography, architectural and landscape history and landscape construction.
Year 2Design work becomes more focused and complex. Courses in urban design and reclamation are taken. Studio work is supported by contextual and technical courses covering aspects of detailed design, built environment theory, living systems and temporal aspects.
Year 3Design work complexity increases and focuses on urban regeneration. You will have an opportunity to take an elective offered from a suite of courses offered by Landscape Architecture, ESALA (Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture) or from the rest of the University of Edinburgh. In Semester 2 you will undertake a professional placement in a landscape architecture practice and study courses by distance learning. You will have the opportunity to apply for the new European Masters in Landscape Architecture (EMiLA) upon successful completion of third year. Please note that places on EMILA are limited to five each year. European Masters students will spend Semesters 1 and 4 in Edinburgh and Semesters 2 and 3 with two of our four prestigious European partners; The Ecole Nationale Superieure du Paysage (Versailles), Leibniz Universität (Hannover), Academie Van Bouwkunst (Amsterdam) and the Escola Tecnica d'Arquitectura de Barcelona. Each partner has different perspectives on Landscape Architecture as a profession, subject and design medium.
