Course programme

Who should study Landscape Architecture?

If you’re a recent graduate, or a professional who would like to develop a career in landscape architecture, this fast track programme is for you.

Most likely, you’ll have a design background or be able to demonstrate some creative flair; you may have an undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture or in a related subject such as geography, planning or ecology.

What’s critical is that you’re passionate about improving the environment for the benefit of people and nature.

How will you be taught?Gaining experience and developing practical skills

You’ll work on a series of design projects tutored in the studio, often on a one-to-one basis.

These site-based projects are frequently set overseas and will become increasingly complex as the programme progresses.

A unique setting

You’ll discover that Edinburgh is a unique and exciting centre for Landscape Architecture.

Within a short distance, the relatively undeveloped areas of the Scottish Highlands and the Borders illustrate different problems, opportunities and solutions for Landscape Architects.
