MA Professional Landscape Architecture

The MA in Professional Landscape Architecture is a program for those who hold either a bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture or a Landscape Institute accredited ‘conversion’ qualification and a degree in another discipline. At UEL, through design studio, live projects, and investigation of theory, we explore key issues in contemporary life – migration, inequality, climate emergency, urban growth, food security.  We investigate our understandings of these ideas with passion and commitment; exploring the ways in which landscape, nature, and place are socially, as well as physically, ‘constructed’.  We seek to develop critical awareness and personal understanding of the landscape, and from this, to cultivate an individual considered approach.
