Course Overview

Curious about landscape, urbanism, and working with nature as a primary design tool? Our MA Architecture: Landscape and Urban Design Master's is the ideal step to furthering your postgraduate study and understanding how landscape and urbanism relate to architecture, nature, and the scientific and human dimensions of our built and unbuilt environments.

Besides examining the theoretical and practical frameworks for engaging with landscapes at the territorial, urban, and architectural scales, you'll also be able to take part in current debates involving landscape, architecture, urban design, climate change, and sustainability.

Learn how to preserve and/or transform landscapes based on their geographical, geological, and morphological components, and how to design proposals that interact with both natural and artificial environments to create ecosystems. In your design, you'll explore and use notions like sustainability, green infrastructure, renaturing cities, biodiversity, environmental design, and ecosystem services.

With this Landscape and Urban Design Master's degree, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the tangible and intangible values of landscape, including its natural, historical, cultural, and social dimensions. You'll graduate with valuable insight into, and experience of, sustainable landscape architecture and urban design, enabling you to reshape societies for the better in your future career.
