| Programme Aims | The programme aims to equip students with both technical skills and professional knowledge in a studio-based curriculum, which addresses landscape planning, design, management, and conservation. It is designed to provide professional insight into the industry by integrating expertise in spatial design and knowledge of natural systems. The curriculum will emphasise on developing students’ intellectual skills and practical applications including sustainable and ecological design, knowledge on planting and construction, and latest digital technology in computer softwares in the areas of graphics, visualisation, GIS, and BIM that match the industry’s requirements best. | |
| Career Prospects | Landscape Architects are involved in a wide range of works including regional planning or development proposal, infrastructural works, and land development; design for new or enhancement of open space and streetscape, waterfront, and recreational complex; landscape design and landscape planning for real estate developments; landscape and tree management, landscape and visual impact assessment; environmental review and assessment. Graduates have a range of job opportunities from the design oriented to technical or horticultural related roles. They may join landscape architectural practices or landscape unit of multi-disciplinary consultancies as landscape designer or assistant project manager, or field officer in government or contractors’ organisation.
