Program Outline
No new admissions into this program.
The Master of Landscape Architecture is an intensive five-semester length studio-based program that
develops professional and creative abilities in the context of contemporary theory
and practice of landscape architecture.
Projects are used as
the basis for learning, discussion and review. Some projects lead students through
technical, administrative, planning or other specific aspects of practice, while
others promote innovative approaches to design with a more open agenda. The programs
combine a global outlook with extensive use of case studies of Australian work.
Teaching is by a combination of University staff and visiting practising professionals.
