THE MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE OFFERS AN ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION LEADING TOWARDS PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION AS A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.
The MLA is accredited by the UK Landscape Institute and recognised worldwide by the International Federation of Landscape Architects, preparing you for the final stage of professional accreditation as a landscape architect. It is jointly run by Manchester Metropolitan University and The University of Manchester meaning you will benefit from the resources and expertise available in both institutions.
COURSE OVERVIEW
At MSA we believe that landscape architects can contribute to combatting the climate and ecological emergency, promote social equity, provide common resources in the form of public space, and make a difference to people’s lives.
The Master of Landscape Architecture offers space to experiment through research, live projects, and our studio atelier system which celebrates diversity. The MLA promotes multiple critical approaches to practice and a wide range of creative and analytical approaches.
Alongside our specialist landscape staff team, our students benefit from interdisciplinary working and access to a large pool of staff and guests. Our graduates gain collaborative experience, networks from across the Manchester School of Architecture and landscape practices. They create a portfolio of work supporting them to find employment locally or globally.
Students eligible for the MLA will normally have a minimum of a second class degree in a closely related subject area. The following disciplines are typical although this is not an exhaustive list and the suitability of all applicants will be assessed via a combination of portfolio and interview: Design for the built environment including: Architecture, Urban Design and Planning, Interior Design, Garden Design; Other design or arts related disciplines may also be considered, including: fashion, film, graphics, product design, etc; Land or plant-based sciences including: Geography, Horticulture, Forestry or agriculture, Ecology, Environmental science and management; Engineering, including especially: Civil, hydrological and structural engineering. Direct part entry 2: Candidates with a minimum of a second-class degree in an accredited UK undergraduate Landscape Architecture course will normally be accepted directly into Part 2 of the MLA. Candidates from other countries with an IFLA recognised undergraduate qualification of an equivalent standard may also be eligible for direct entry at year 2.
