Landscape Architecture

If you love design, nature, and the outdoors, are interested in society and the ways that we live and want to make a better, more sustainable future for our towns and countryside, then Landscape Architecture is for you. This exciting program teaches you how to design with nature to improve our environment and the quality of our lives. Landscape architects work on all sorts of projects, all over the world, designing habitats for humans and non-humans: homes for city birds, playgrounds for children, rooftop gardens, streetscapes, city parks, and even cities themselves. They transform urban and rural land, and water bodies, and advise on countryside matters. Landscape design engages environmentalism, urbanism, and culture, teaching important transferable skills that you’ll use wherever you are, and whatever you do in the future.

Key Fact: UCD is currently the only university in Ireland to offer an undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture. This course is accredited by the Irish Landscape Institute [ILI] and recognized by the International Federation of Landscape Architecture [IFLA-Europe].
