Landscape Architecture (Taught)

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.

Your understanding of each module is assessed through a variety of written/ illustrated reports, and design drawing portfolios, submitted at the end of the module.

Your submitted coursework is completed against detailed project briefs, with submissions selected from project work developed in a variety of media, practical and 3D work, essays, site research studies, illustrated reports, seminar papers and presentations. Teaching supports the development of materials for submission through seminars individual and group tutorials, field visits and lectures.

All coursework is double marked and reviewed by an external examination board.

Professionally accredited courses provide industry-wide recognition of the quality of your qualification.
