The MA in Professional Landscape Architecture is a programme for those who hold either a bachelor's degree in landscape architecture or a Landscape Institute accredited 'conversion' qualification and a degree in another discipline. <br>At UEL, through design studio, live projects, and investigation of theory, we explore key issues in contemporary life - migration, inequality, climate emergency, urban growth, and food security. We investigate our understandings of these ideas with passion and commitment, exploring the ways in which landscape, nature and place are socially, as well as physically, 'constructed'. We seek to develop critical awareness and personal understanding of the landscape, and from this, to cultivate an individual, considered approach. Our teaching supports the acquisition of the skills and knowledge that we know are relevant to professional practice now, while developing personal trajectories for the future, within this broad professional field.<br>The MA comprises six modules: two modules of theory/ professional practice, and two design modules. The programme culminates in a self-directed double module - an extended thesis. <br>Our modules offer both set topics of study, and options, for learning and research with the Sustainability Research Institute or other faculty in fields like urban design, heritage, environmental design and social justice. Design studio follows a pattern of investigation, experiment and innovation. You will be working across scales, from the geographic scale of character assessment to detailed design and construction.<br>At UEL your interests and passions count. We provide an inspiring, creative setting where you can extend your knowledge, skills and understanding, and inform your future direction in the profession. <br>The MA in Professional Landscape Architecture runs alongside other landscape and built environment programmes, and offers flexibility, opportunities for collaborative project work, an active faculty and a diverse student body.<br><br>With increased focus on environmental issues, and building healthy communities, landscape architects are in demand professionally, nationally and internationally. There is a high industry employment rate. <br>Our graduates perform well within the field, achieving recognition and industry awards, and 100% of our MA graduates have found employment in practice and in senior research or policy roles. Our School has links with a range of professional practices and will give you invaluable experience of working collaboratively with other disciplines, on live projects and with professionals in a practice setting.
