Landscape Architecture Birmingham City University

Overview

What's covered in the course?

This course is designed for students who want a career in landscape architecture and want to shape the world in which we live. 

You will have a belief and passion to use landscape architecture as a design tool to make new environments for work, play and habitation.

The second year extends the studio as a studio of the mind, promoting an environment that encourages exploration and investigation. 

There is a strong emphasis on research that underpins new frontiers of the designed environment.

Students will work on research-led design projects relating to well-being, the design process, designed ecologies and climate change, settlement design, food security and large scale infrastructure schemes like High Speed 2 (HS2) and flood alleviation.
