Our approach

Faced with our current climate emergency, this course responds to the increasing need to work across built and natural environments. Landscape Architecture students produce innovative responses to design briefs that support sustainability and deal with real-world challenges, such as biodiversity loss, climate change and ecological crisis.

In this course, Design Studios form the core component, giving students the opportunity to work independently or in groups to develop their own approach to landscape architecture. Within the Design Studios, tutors present unique, rigorous, challenging and even radical intellectual positions, providing a strong identity for students to use as the basis for developing their own approach to the contemporary study of landscape architecture. Students refine their communication skills through seminar presentations, written work, design reviews and exhibitions.

Our Landscape Architecture courses are housed in a brand-new facility in central London with fabrication facilities, a drone and landscape research lending library, and large, bespoke studio spaces. A series of workshops and classes are available to help students gain integral skills, from planting and horticulture to VR and mixed reality modelling. Landscape architecture design teaching is complemented with history and theory lectures, seminars and readings, examining the interdependence of thought, action and form in history, society, culture and geography.

Our degree courses

Landscape architecture is available to study in two degrees at The Bartlett, taught over either one or two years:

Our Landscape Architecture MA is taught full-time over one year, for students who already have a UK landscape architecture undergraduate degree, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

The MA course is also relevant to early and mid-career professionals looking to expand their technical skills and knowledge and develop their own approach to the contemporary study of landscape architecture.
