Overview

Master of Landscape Architecture

The Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) graduate program at UBC offers an accredited three-year curriculum. 

This professional course of study is highly demanding, with many curricula requiring coursework. 

Design studios are integrated with courses in landscape history and theory, site analysis and planning, and management of environments. 

Within this challenging program, opportunities to develop individual identity and special skills are made possible through selecting specialized topic design studios, thoughtful engagement with electives, and especially through the execution of the Graduation Project

The academics are coupled with experience in the contemporary profession, with internships available for credits. 

By working in firms or agencies related to students' areas of interest, design development and documentation skills are honed for future practice. 

Students build and expand their professional network through these positions and small student-faculty ratios.

The School coordinates a public lecture series with students, faculty, and guests from local landscape architecture affiliates. 

These informal discourses offer feedback and advice from a broad audience for students presenting their initiatives and projects.

Language pathway (conditional offer) is available

The Faculty of Graduate Studies may extend a conditional offer of admission to a highly-qualified graduate applicant who does not quite meet the minimum English language proficiency requirement set by the graduate program to which the student has applied.

The student will proceed directly into the graduate degree program after successfully completing the prescribed terms of study in the ELI Intensive Academic English Program (or pre-approved, equivalent alternative).

To be eligible for the Condition Admission Program (CAP), the applicant must:

  • Possess a "first-class average" (or established equivalent) in a degree deemed as an eligible basis for admission, OR have academic qualifications that would have ranked them in the top 33% of students admitted to the graduate program to which they are applying, for the year before the date of their application;
  • have English language proficiency, demonstrated via an accepted test, that can reasonably be expected to be brought up to the standard required by the graduate program to which the student has applied by completing ELI (or accepted equivalent) training in no more than a year; and
  • be recommended for the CAP by a UBC graduate program.

Academic background and requirement

  • You must hold a degree that is academically equivalent to a four-year bachelor’s degree at UBC. There is no requirement for the discipline of your previous degree.
  • If you have completed your degree at a Canadian or American university, you must have a B+ average in your third- and fourth-year-level coursework. If you completed your degree at an international university, you must have a B+ average in all coursework.
