  • Duration

    2 Years

This is a design based career conversion/ development course at Masters level, for anyone who has a passion for landscape architecture, but a first degree in any other subject.

It brings together ‘conversion’ modules of the postgraduate diploma, with modules from the MA taken by those holding an undergraduate landscape degree, combined into ‘straight through’ programme for direct entry to the UK profession at Licentiate status.

This course covers:

design modules, where you lead the landscape design process, using a range of drawing and modelling techniques and softwares, taught in studio; and
theory/ professional practice, where we explore the issues affecting our environment, visit, study, and discuss professional landscape architecture.
This is a two year programme (full time) and the fee varies each year. You may also consider applying for the postgraduate diploma in Landscape Architecture.

About this course

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, climate emergency, food security, diversity, inequality, wellbeing. 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 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 a personal attitude to landscape design, to express yourself spatially, to investigate ideas with passion and commitment. There are options to work with UEL's Sustainability Research Institute and other built environment faculty, to choose your path into diverse landscape careers.

Landscape architects are in demand nationally and internationally. There is a high industry employment rate. Our graduates perform well within the field, achieving recognition and industry awards, and 100% from our Conversion MA have found employment in practice and in senior research or policy roles, including many who have not come from an art or design undergraduate programme. 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.

Our Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture (Conversion) will set you on the path to a rewarding and exciting career in landscape architecture.

All of our postgraduate landscape courses have full accreditation from the Landscape Institute and provide necessary qualification to allow registration on the Landscape Institute’s Pathway to Chartership.

Minimum 2.1 Degree in any subject
We would normally expect you to have Grade C in GCSE English and Maths.
