Course aims

The course adopts a creative and experimental approach to landscape architecture that challenges convention and champions the importance of healthy and equitable landscapes in urban and regional contexts. The four-year course covers the skills needed to design, construct, manage and advocate for landscapes at home and abroad, across a range of scales. Tuition in the detailed design of public space is complemented by exposure to regenerative and community-based approaches to urbanisation and the design of living infrastructures.

With a focus on studio-based learning design projects will creatively address key challenges, including biodiversity loss and climate change. The generation and testing of ideas in studio subjects is supported by a range of technical and critical studies, including ecology, infrastructure, and construction. When not in dedicated studios and making spaces, students experience unique landscapes on site visits, field trips, travelling studios, or during an optional semester long exchange at a global partner institution.

Transdisciplinary Electives at UTS Employers tell us the skills our graduates acquire from undertaking a Transdisciplinary Elective sets them apart from the crowd. That’s why we have embedded this program into every undergraduate degree. All you need to do is choose the Elective that inspires you the most. Transdisciplinary Electives integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, allowing you to approach complex problems from a range of perspectives. By combining methods and insights from various disciplines, transdisciplinary learning often leads to breakthrough ideas and creative innovations that may not be possible within the confines of a single discipline. If you find yourself rapt by the world of innovation – you can pair your core degree with a Diploma in Innovation, graduating with two qualifications in the same timeframe. In both instances, you’ll work on a real-world challenge presented by an industry partner organisation – partners who often create career pathways for our graduates. * Excludes students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation.
