    About

    This is a design based career conversion/ development course, for anyone with a passion for landscape architecture, but a first degree in any other subject. It is fully accredited by the Landscape Institute. 

    Our 'conversion' postgraduate diploma does lead to employment in landscape offices, but you will need to return to study, and take a Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture to gain full UK Licentiate status, giving entry to the Landscape Institute Pathway to Chartership. You might also consider applying for the Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture (with Conversion) - our 'straight through' to Licentiate status programme.

    We will seek to enhance your existing skills and knowledge, including developing:

    • your drawing, modelling and software skills;
    • your understanding of design, including planting design; and
    • knowledge across the wide scope of landscape concerns and practice.

    We will give you the skills to explore your interests and find your direction within landscape architecture.

    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, migration and displacement, diversity, inequality, competition for resources, climate change, food security. 

    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 a range of 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 your own personal attitude to landscape design, to express yourself spatially, to investigate ideas with passion and commitment. We work in tandem with architecture and urban design students, who investigate the same sites through a different lens, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary working, as well as individual expression.
