The MSc Advanced Landscape and Urbanism allows you to develop inventive approaches to the design of cities, landscape and territories - enhancing your academic and professional skills.
Designed for students of architecture, landscape architecture, engineering and related fields, this master's in landscape and urbanism addresses the growing influence of landscape on urban, social and ecological processes. You'll learn about the challenges facing contemporary cities, such as urban growth, climate change, and social inequality, encouraging you to consider future landscapes and cities with these issues in mind.
Benefit from access to our state-of-the-art Stockwell Street Building, which is equipped with design studios, a photography suite, film studios, and gallery spaces. You will also be ideally placed to visit London's galleries and landscape projects. The course will enable you to move straight into a career in architecture and urban design or go on to doctoral study.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
