Here's what Leeds Beckett University says about its Landscape Architecture & Design course.
Design spaces to bring people closer to nature. You'll reimagine cities and tackle our planet's environmental challenges on this landscape architecture degree.
From city parks and green streets to rural spaces, waterfronts, and urban places, landscape architecture shapes the way we experience and interact with the world outside. If you want a course where creativity meets purpose, this is it.
On this Landscape Architecture & Design degree, you'll be based in creative city-centre studios and dedicated landscape facilities. This is where your ideas become places that matter. You'll design for real people, real environments, and real challenges. The climate crisis. Biodiversity. Urban life. Wellbeing. Our changing countryside.
As part of this landscape architecture course, you'll:
-
Explore how nature, people, and cities connect
-
Develop creative, technical, and digital design skills by sketching, modelling, planting, and testing your ideas
-
Dive into modules covering the theory, history, and design principles that underpin landscape architecture
-
Design with sustainability, ecology, and climate-positive thinking at the core
-
Tackle social and environmental challenges through studio projects and live briefs
-
Build your confidence and refine your own design identity
Find out more... Design the future Landscape architecture looks beyond the visual. It's also about how spaces function. You'll explore how outdoor environments can improve lives, support nature, and respond to a changing planet. On this course, you'll learn to use design as a tool for positive impact.
Get ready to make an impact By the time you graduate, you'll know the change your ideas can create, and where they could take you next. This course is accredited by the Landscape Institute, giving you a recognised route into the profession and a strong foundation for a career as a landscape architect.
Bring the outdoors to life On this landscape architecture course, you'll dig into what makes places come alive. You'll create experiences, not just designs, and discover how smart ideas can tackle social, climate, and environmental challenges head on.
Learn by doing You'll spend your time in our dynamic studios. Making. Testing. Refining. Through a combination of drawing, model-making, and digital tools, you'll bring ideas to life. You'll also use our dedicated Landscape Resource Centre to gain hands-on experience with plants, habitats, and ecological design - something many landscape design courses don't offer.
Collaborate like a professional At Leeds School of Architecture, collaboration with your peers is key. You'll work alongside future architects, interior designers, and urban thinkers, just like professionals do in practice. Guest speakers, site visits, live projects, and exhibitions will provide insight into the industry and the chance to showcase your work.

Lots of variations of modules, lots of books to buy/ loan ect. Some staff were also post grad students so we didn’t get their full attention or dedication. The rest of the staff were great and supportive and passionate about our journey

Great Uni for feeling ‘part of’ and a family vibe. Lots of support on site if needed and the staff were generally friendly. The campus was spread out but not too hard to find. I was proud to attend this uni.

The union doesnu2019t offer much compared to others iu2019ve seen. The food and drink is no cheaper than Spoons, and there is never anyone in there on nights out.

There are numerous clubs of different types, and there is something for everyone. The Otley run is one of the best examples of uni night life in the country.

Leeds is a very expensive city to live in particularly in terms of accommodation, however the university itself offers provisions to help with the cost of living, such as u00a32 hot meals, and a free shuttle bus between campuses.

Weekly academic advisor sessions throughout the first semester, followed by regular checkups thereafter.
