Architecture, Construction and Environment PhD
A Landscape Architecture research degree offers you the opportunity to explore innovative practice as research through the production of an original body of work. You’ll develop your practice from a coherent research process, demonstrating a critical appreciation of the context of landscape and urban design.
You’ll draw upon and extend existing literature and practices, and show that your research makes an original contribution to knowledge. Alternatively, your work could be wholly historical or theoretical and be presented as a written thesis.
