The Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney is a four-year undergraduate honours degree, designed to develop students’ expertise in the planning, design, and management of urban and natural environments. The course combines creative, ecological, and technical knowledge, preparing graduates to tackle contemporary challenges in public space design, sustainability, and landscape heritage. Students engage with design studios, theory classes, technical units, and digital fabrication, progressing from foundational skills to advanced project work.

Structured across eight semesters, students typically undertake core and elective units of study, accumulating the credit points required for graduation.

This program equips graduates with a diverse and robust skill set, including landscape analysis, sustainable design strategy, digital design tools, project management, and environmental assessment. It’s well suited to creative individuals passionate about the natural and built environment, and committed to contributing positively to urban and regional futures.
