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. 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.
Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.
