Overview

Master of Landscape Architecture/Master of Urban Design

The Master of Landscape Architecture combined with the Master of Urban Design creates professionals with the knowledge and skills to help improve our built and natural environments through innovative design and who understand the city as a spatiotemporally complex system.

This program at the University of Melbourne aims to provide you with:

  • unique skills which bridge the arts and sciences, design and the environment;
  • the ability to engage in core ecological, cultural and social issues in both urban and rural societies;
  • foundation knowledge for designing interconnected buildings and private and public spaces for our towns within social, environmental, aesthetic and economic contexts.

At the Melbourne School of Design, the 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.

By combining the Master of Landscape Architecture and Master of Urban Design as a double degree, the students complete two professionally accredited graduate programs in a reduced timeframe. 

This gives them a true competitive advantage and broader career options.  

Dual accreditation also offers a distinctive signal to employers and industry and enhances the existing graduate reputation for strong leadership and strategic thinking skills, embedded in the expertise in providing a world-class built environment education influencing Melbourne and cities globally for over 150 years.
