This course promotes strong design methods and the integration of new and innovative technologies to address the challenges facing contemporary cities, including urban growth, climate change, globalisation and social inequality. The MSc Architecture, Landscape and Urbanism interrogates the growing influence of landscape on urban, social and ecological processes. It provides a platform to address the conditions of contemporary urbanism, such as extreme environmental events, shifting economic agendas, new forms of public space and the transformations to urban infrastructures. It also employs advanced design techniques and innovative methodologies to develop speculative designs, strategies and interventions. The course centres on the design studio, where students are introduced to innovative approaches in landscape architecture and encouraged to develop design speculations for future landscapes and cities.

Exceptionally, applicants from geography, ecology and social sciences will also be considered. All applicants must submit a design or project portfolio and a personal statement.
