Course content

Landscape architecture connects people across disciplines, cultures and communities – all of whom share the common goal of creating places that have a positive impact on society, culture and the environment.

There is now, more than ever, a recognition that landscapes must be conceptualised, designed, and managed in ways which address contemporary challenges facing communities and the global environment, including environmental sustainability and human resilience and wellbeing.

The MA Landscape Architecture Studies online programme explores how professionals in the field build a healthy, equitable relationship between their practice and our planet’s ecosystem.

Fees and funding

The course is eligible for a Postgraduate Loan from Student Finance England for UK and EU nationals meeting the residency requirements.
