COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Landscape Architectural Design is about envisioning, investigating and proposing better ways of living in our complex and rapidly changing environments.
Working with parks, seasons, coastlines and communities, landscape architectural designers address and respond to global issues, including climate change, reconciliation, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and the provision of meaningful public space.
Through design, in this degree you will learn how the discipline of landscape architecture interacts with natural ecosystems and built environments as well as cultural and social frameworks. You will learn to think conceptually; developing ideas from what you observe and modeling your ideas to develop and test design proposals in response.
In the Bachelor of Landscape Architectural Design, you will learn design through a design studio format wherein you immerse yourself deeply in a creative project. These provide you with a unique way of exploring ideas and creative practice whilst integrating knowledge from related learning streams.
Explore study areas
The structure of this degree is organised through the following four subject areas:
Design studios
Environments
Communications
Theoretical frameworks.
In the subjects and studios you undertake, you will engage in the design of open and public spaces, learning how to test and apply your design concepts in practical contexts, and how to engage your community to effectively and positively bring about change.
Learning and teaching
Your studies will centre around design studios which provide a unique way of exploring ideas and creative practice. In studios, you will learn with peers from different year levels to offer a community of learning.
Beyond studios, you will learn in a dynamic environment, through lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops and field-based activities. You will learn in and from the landscape which you are learning to design.
You will also have the opportunity to join the student team producing Kerb, one of the world’s leading landscape architecture journals with international recognition.
Career
The Bachelor of Landscape Architectural Design is a stand-alone award that provides employment options for those who seek to work in landscape design, or design more generally, in roles that do not require professional registration. To be eligible to become accredited as a landscape architect you must complete the Master of Landscape Architecture.
Landscape architects work in fields such as site design, urban design, park and recreational design, regional planning, ecological design and restoration.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Since its establishment in 1887, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT) has been meeting the needs of the community surrounding it. Originally a Working Men’s College, RMIT showed its flexibility during World War Two, training over 20,000 servicemen in communications to help with the war effort.Now, it is a true pioneer in international education, championing cross-border study opportunities with campuses in various countries. Granted formal university status in 1992, RMIT is ranked 21st in the world for universities that are less than 50 years old.RMIT is the largest higher education institution in Australia, currently with more than 82,000 students. With nearly 20% of those students coming from overseas, it is a university that truly welcomes diversity and is a melting pot of different cultures. RMIT has three campuses in Vietnam, a European hub in Barcelona, an office in Indonesia, and partners with 200+ institutions in 42 countries to provide study opportunities worldwide.
