The UNSW Master of Landscape Architecture program aims to produce scholarly, creative designers who value well-designed landscapes as central to vibrant, healthy and equitable urban and regional environments. At UNSW, we engage with the campus, the surrounding city and the Sydney region as our landscape laboratory, and encourage our students to engage with international issues and experiences. The core of the program is the design studio sequence, with each studio supported by a skill and/or knowledge-based course. The design process is informed by research and critical analysis of landscape sites and systems, and design outcomes are shaped by modelling, testing and dialogue. Prescribed electives provide opportunities for students to pursue interdisciplinary, specialised interests across the faculty, particularly in the areas of urban design and planning; urban renewal and regeneration; spatial analysis; communications and visualisation, architecture, and sustainable design and development. The final studio is a capstone experience which provides students with the opportunity to undertake an independent research based design project. Program Structure Students must complete 144 UOC as a standalone program. Learning Outcomes Synthesize and communicate complex landscape architectural information, concepts and propositions clearly, concisely and effectively. Identify and assess ethical, environmental, cultural and/or sustainability considerations in their design practice. Collaborate responsibly, to reflect on their own contributions to teamwork, and on the team's processes and ability to achieve outcomes. Locate, select, and apply knowledge of current disciplinary theory and professional practice to complex landscape architectural design and research challenges in local, regional and global contexts. Identify, analyse and research complex issues in landscape architecture design projects, and to generate appropriate, innovative and soundly justified design propositions. Demonstrate personal accountability, cultural awareness, a respect for diversity, and environmental and social responsibility in their design practice. Prepare and present written documents and design proposals effectively and in keeping with the professional standards of the discipline.
