This is a design based career conversion/ development course, for anyone who has a passion for Landscape Architecture, but a first degree in any other subject. It is fully accredited by the Landscape Institute. A ‘conversion’ programme is an entry requirement for the Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture, unless you already have an undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture/ Landscape Design. If you know you want to continue to the Masters degree, and don’t have a first degree in the subject, you may also consider applying for the Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture (with Conversion). We will seek to enhance your existing skills and knowledge, including developing your drawing, modelling and computer based representation skills, your understanding of construction and planting design, and theoretical and professional foundations of Landscape Architecture. We want to give you the skills to explore your interests and find your direction within the wide scope of Landscape Architectural practice. Based at our Docklands campus, you will benefit from and contribute to the exciting cultural life of the capital using London sites for your investigation and research. 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, 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, through 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 a 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.
