PGDip Landscape Architecture

This is a design based career conversion/ development course, for anyone with a passion for landscape architecture, but the first degree in any other subject. It is fully accredited by the Landscape Institute. Our ‘conversion’ postgraduate diploma does lead to employment in landscape offices, but you will need to return to study, and take a Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture to gain full UK Licentiate status, giving entry to the Landscape Institute Pathway to Chartership. You might also consider applying for the Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture (with Conversion) – our ‘straight through’ to the Licentiate status program.

There are four core modules for the postgraduate diploma, taking one academic year full time, and up to two years part-time. You can switch between full and part-time mode.

• Landscape Architecture: Foundations of Theory and Contexts (core)
• Landscape Architecture: Foundations of Theory, Practice & Professional Life (core)
• Landscape Architecture: Basic Tools & Principles of Design (core)
• Landscape Architecture: Essential Tools & Principles of Design (core)

Employability:

With an increased focus on environmental issues, and on building healthy communities, landscape architects are more in demand professionally, nationally, and internationally. There is a high industry employment rate.  Our graduates perform well within the field, achieving recognition and industry awards, and employment in practices in the UK and overseas. Several gain employment as a direct result of our shadowing placements. Our School has links with a range of professional practices and will give you invaluable experience of working collaboratively with other disciplines, on live projects, and with professionals in a practice setting. All of our postgraduate landscape courses have full accreditation from the Landscape Institute.
