This is a design-based career conversion/ development course at Masters level, for anyone who has a passion for landscape architecture, but a first degree in any other subject. It brings together 'conversion' modules of the postgraduate diploma, with modules from the MA taken by those holding an undergraduate landscape degree, combined into a 'straight through' programme for direct entry to the UK profession at Licentiate status. UEL's professional landscape architecture programmes build your skills for a future career in landscape architecture in the context of key issues in contemporary life - city expansion, climate emergency, food security, diversity, inequality, and well-being. We challenge you to consider your understanding of what landscape is about, and what it can and should do.You'll learn through design studio, site visits, and by interaction with professionals and academics across spatial and environmental disciplines, as well as getting hands-on, with the practicalities of building now, for existing needs with real clients and communities.At UEL your interests and passions count. We provide an inspiring, creative setting where you can gain the skills and understanding that will facilitate self-expression, and inform your future direction in the profession. We engage with live sites and clients and foster connections with visiting professionals. All staff continue in professional practice and bring relevant industry knowledge as well as extensive academic teaching experience to design studios, seminars, tutorials, field visits, and lectures.Landscape architects are in demand nationally and internationally. There is a high industry employment rate. Our graduates perform well within the field, achieving recognition and industry awards, and 100% from our Conversion MA have found employment in practice and in senior research or policy roles, including many who have not come from an art or design undergraduate programme. Our School has links with a range of professional practices and will give you invaluable experience in working collaboratively with other disciplines, on live projects, and with professionals in a practice setting.Our Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture (Conversion) will set you on the path to a rewarding and exciting career in landscape architecture.
