Master of Landscape Architecture
As a student in the UNSW Master of Landscape Architecture you will engage with the Sydney region as your landscape laboratory. In this degree you will work with leading academics, practitioners and industry representatives in landscape architecture as well as city planning, urban design, and architecture to explore issues of common concern. Through studios and lectures you will engage with experts at UNSW Built Environment in social agency, design performance, city analytics, urban renewal and regeneration, healthy built environments, design theory and history.
The core of the degree is the design studio sequence, with each studio supported by a skill and/or knowledge-based course. The final studio is a capstone experience which provides students with the opportunity to undertake an independent research-based design project.
