Master of Landscape Architecture

The Master of Landscape Architecture will give you the knowledge and skills to help improve our built and natural environments through innovative design.

You will gain:

• The skills to design ecologically sound and contemporary landscapes using the latest materials and technologies
• An in-depth understanding of international contemporary practice
• The management and communications skills to work effectively in interdisciplinary project teams, directly applicable in professional practice
• An extensive knowledge of landscape architectural history and theory.

The Master of Landscape Architecture offers you flexibility, so you can take a two-year program if you already have a three-year undergraduate degree in landscape architecture, or the three-year program if you are applying with a degree from another discipline.
