Course summary
Our BA (Hons) Landscape Architecture & Design (with Integrated Foundation Year) is a four year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your creativity before you embark on year one of a degree. Develop the advanced skills required to become a professional landscape architect with specialist knowledge of ecological and environmental design, on our new BA (Hons) Landscape Architecture & Design degree course at UCA Canterbury. You’ll be exposed to a wide range of spatial practices and come to understand the value that a landscape architect can add to projects, the wider community, and society. Access to advanced forms of fabrication and testing, the latest scanning and VR technology, and a suite of traditional craft-based workshops will allow you to bring your design proposals to life. You’ll also have the freedom to establish your own unique specialisms, such as practical plant-based knowledge, while developing your own highly individualised design identity and style. Supported by a wide range of industry professionals, you’ll have opportunities to collaborate with your peers in other design specialisms such as architecture and urban design, and through exploring real briefs and contexts, you’ll have the chance to engage with and show your work to established practitioners.
Assessment method
UCA’s Integrated Foundation Year is designed to give you the skills you’ll need to start your degree in the best possible way – with confidence, solid knowledge of creative practice, study skills and more. You’ll explore a range of creative techniques and develop your portfolio, with your chosen subject in mind. We’ll work with you throughout the year to ensure you’re on the right track and give you the tools to achieve your highest potential on your degree.
