Overview

The Master of Landscape Architecture combined with the Master of Urban Design creates professionals who will have the knowledge and skills to help improve our built and natural environments through innovative design, and who understand the city as a spatio-temporally complex system.

 

The program aims to provide you with:

 

unique skills which bridge the arts and sciences, design and the environment;

the ability to engage in core ecological, cultural and social issues in both urban and rural societies;

foundation knowledge for the design of interconnected buildings and private and public spaces for our towns within social, environmental, aesthetic and economic contexts.

At the Melbourne School of Design, our curriculum is underpinned by a strong grounding in design, ecology and urbanism. These strengths are paralleled by a comprehensive history and theory stream encompassing contemporary landscape architecture, architecture and urban design theory, and cross-cultural issues, including indigenous perspective for sustainable societies.
