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

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.

##### How we assess your application

At Leeds Beckett we look for students who demonstrate a good knowledge, curiosity and passion for your chosen course and would benefit from the University’s learning environment.

We aim to give every student a fair chance to progress and succeed on their chosen course and we recognise that your grades may not always reflect your true potential. Therefore, when assessing your application, we will consider the following:

* Your completed qualifications (such as GCSEs, A Levels, and their equivalents).

* Your predicted grades in future examinations.

* Your personal statement.

##### Our offers

All our offers are made by trained professionals who are committed to making offers that are appropriate to each applicant, regardless of their background.* They have the discretion to vary the level of offer to ensure every student with the potential to succeed at Leeds Beckett receives an offer that is achievable for them.

This could mean that you may receive an offer to study on this course with lower (predicted or achieved) UCAS Tariff Points than our published tariff.  Your offer will be based on our belief that you are capable of benefiting from, and successfully completing, your course. We believe that it is people who think differently, independently, people with ‘unlike-minds' that make big things happen.

*We operate a contextual admissions policy, which means we consider a range of additional factors when we assess a student’s application. Applicants who meet at least one of our contextual admissions criteria may be offered a place on this course with lower (predicted or achieved) UCAS Tariff Points than our published tariff.

Our contextual admissions criteria are:

* Home postcode is in an area where few people go to University (POLAR4 quintile 1 or 2 area. This can be checked on the Office for Students website).

You will also take part in taster sessions, specific to your area of study, all of which will help strengthen your professional skills.

##### Mature Applicants

Our university welcomes applications from mature applicants who demonstrate academic potential. All students will be considered through the contextual admissions policy described above. If you do not meet the requirements through the contextual admissions policy, we may still be able to make you an offer if you have recent relevant work experience through our 'Recognition of Prior Learning' policy.

Please ensure that you list both your qualifications and any relevant work experience in your application so that we can consider you under both schemes where applicable. All applicants should meet our standard entry requirements of GCSE grade 4 in English language and, where specified, Maths. Alternative qualifications such as functional skills are accepted in lieu of GCSEs for most courses.

##### Additional entry requirements:

> This is the most exciting time to train as a landscape architect; there's a huge demand for employing our skills. With the increased awareness of how important our natural environment is for our health, our economy, and our survival, landscape architects can do something meaningful to help and leave our world in a better place."

John MacCleary Course Director

> My time studying Landscape Architecture at Leeds Beckett pushed me to think differently and explore opportunities that question the status quo. Each studio project enabled me to explore, grow, and develop critical themes that are still a part of my practice today.

I came away grounded in the knowledge that I had the design skills and creativity to forge my own path and a portfolio of work that would enable me to undertake the breadth of projects that I have been fortunate to work on throughout my career.”

Philip Dugdale Associate Principal, Sasaki

> Our degree allowed us the creative freedom to build our own garden design projects. The tutors were really encouraging and gave us the knowledge to begin our careers and help grow our business. We're now able to reconnect people with their natural surroundings through our garden designs.
