This career-focused design conversion program is ideal for individuals passionate about landscape architecture but holding an undergraduate degree in another field. Fully accredited by the Landscape Institute, our postgraduate diploma serves as a stepping stone to landscape industry roles. However, pursuing a Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture is necessary to achieve full UK Licentiate status and qualify for the Landscape Institute's Chartership Pathway. Alternatively, applicants may consider our integrated Masters in Professional Landscape Architecture (with Conversion), which provides direct progression to Licentiate status.
