Master of Landscape Architecture

The Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) is offered as a two-year, full-time degree programme. It is distinctively Asian and pantropical in its geographic attention, and urban in its emphasis. We aim to provide a landscape architecture education that is sensitive to the myriad challenges facing Asian cities, as well as opportunities provided by the sheer richness of heritage and cultural, socio-economic and ecological elements of the region. As a research intensive university, we adopt a research centric approach our teaching, necessitated by the constant evolution of the knowledge domains the field encompasses. Design is a core emphasis, but it is grounded in socio-cultural sensitivities, ecological knowledge and grasp of emergent technologies and techniques. Our location in Singapore, with its diversity of culture and cosmopolitan outlook, and where urban greening is a cornerstone of its urban development approach, provides an enriching backdrop to our training of landscape architects.
