You will build on your existing knowledge and skills acquired in you degree and further develop creative, artistic, technical and intellectual abilities through a diverse range of design projects that explore contemporary issues and problems, which grow in scale and complexity. The format of studio learning is continued with an increased emphasis on research and experimentation. These include research-led design projects relating to public health and wellbeing, habitat creation and biodiversity, climate change, settlement design, food security, and large infrastructure schemes like the High Speed 2 (HS2) and the West Midlands National Park. The landscape as a sequence of interrelated designed environments provides the scope for a design laboratory connected by land, ecology, water, climate and infrastructure, linked to a cultural context that extends from parish to global political and economic systems.

Our modules, including our new Design for Climate Change module, provide a fascinating forum for systems scale interventions, innovation and exploration of new sustainable approaches to respond to climate change emergency, biodiversity loss and for the planning and designing of resilient places and communities. Exploring these themes and issues is central to our common future and our Landscape Architecture course is very well placed to progress employability skills that will position you at the forefront of these subjects.

Our links to industry, local authorities and our Co.Lab partners offer an opportunity for being involved in the complex nature and the challenges of being a landscape architect in the real world. These extend to collaborating with local stakeholders and institutions and working alongside colleagues across the University on projects that demonstrate the authority of Landscape Architecture in improving the quality of future urban and rural living.
