Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (Honours)

The Bachelor of Landscape Architecture is a course designed to develop skills in design, construction and management associated with our natural and built landscapes. This degree is for those who are passionate about sustainability, ecology, urban environments and design. Equipped with the applied knowledge of how successful public spaces can help bind complex city environments, students learn to create sustainable and cohesive places. Through intensive design studio projects, students develop creative, practical and resilient design solutions that combine both art and science. This combination is essential to balancing environmental needs with those of contemporary society and culture. Students are poised to become design professionals who can creatively address key challenges of contemporary society including climate change, urban densification and biodiversity loss. This focus is manifested in case studies, design and planning theory, technical analysis, and global study tours. A strong international focus is balanced by in-depth study of the local environment to ensure that ecological thinking is applied to city landscape design. The honours stream allows students to work at a higher level of academic study in a relevant area of interest.
