MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

NUS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE is distinctively Asian and pan-tropical in geographic attention with an urban emphasis. Centrally located in Singapore, one of the most dynamic, diverse, and rapidly urbanizing regions of the world, we aim to provide a landscape architecture education that is sensitive to the myriad challenges facing Asian cities, as well as opportunities inspired by the rich heritage and cultural, socio-economic, and ecological elements of the region. Singapore provides an enriching backdrop to our training of landscape architects with its diversity of culture and cosmopolitan outlook, and where greening and ecology of the built environment is a cornerstone of urban development.

We are a leading programme centred in Asia

Landscape architecture as a professional practice is constantly evolving, and landscape architects’ roles are expanding into new frontiers of practice.

We train design professionals who will shape the environment

Foundational years give students a head start to better engage the diverse issues of designing the environment. In senior years, students choose from a variety of design paths to develop interests, strengths and potentials. These paths provide career opportunities beyond landscape architecture whereby students might venture into architecture, urban design, regional planning, integrated sustainable design, and environmental studies.
