As a Landscape Architect, you will respond to real-world problems and challenges, such as improving air quality, food security and water management, offsetting carbon footprints, and reducing energy waste. The outdoor environment also has significant links to well-being and mental health, and you could be at the heart of designing sustainable urban living that will benefit society for years to come.
During your time with us, you will engage with various design and research processes and consider the potential of working with nature and the built environment at multiple scales - from detailing intimate courtyards to regional spatial and ecological strategies.
