Overview

Landscape architects utilise design and ecology to plan our external environments. They play an important role in our experience of living, in neighbourhoods, city squares, urban forests, parks, streets, gardens and green infrastructure.

During the Design - Landscape Architecture program at University of Melbourne you will develop advanced skills in creating design solutions that address local and global ecological, cultural and social issues.

Classes incorporate studio sessions, site visits and theoretical studies of the history and practice of landscape architecture. You will learn about community programs, garden and landscape heritage and sustainability of our natural resources.

In your first and second year you will complete subjects on the foundations of design and be introduced to the design studios. You will complete prerequisites for your major as well as other design core, elective and breadth studies.

In your third year, you will complete 50 points (usually four subjects) of study that is deep and specialised study in design and architecture. You can complete a double major with some study areas in the Bachelor of Design.
