The work of landscape architects is all around us; in our city streets, along our motorways, within our shopping centres, parks, public gardens and city squares. Landscape Architecture involves the planning, design, creation and management of our external environment. It aims to combine the best for and from our natural and built landscapes.

Landscape Architecture includes master planning, regeneration of urban and rural sites, conservation and management of heritage landscapes and waterways and the design of public and private open spaces. From mining to forestry, from urbanisation to river reclamation, from transport to water storage, landscape architects bring together the natural and the built for a better environment.

Students require imagination, strong visual interests and problem-solving skills. Design is essential to this specialist degree and design methodology is taught and practised in the studio-based modules, which have an important element of self-direction. Drawing, landscape representation and computer graphics are part of the taught syllabus. However, a natural artistic or creative talent combined with the ability to reason in logical fashion will prove a helpful asset in this area.
