Entry Requirements

Part 1 Entry

Students eligible for the MLA will normally have a minimum of a second class degree in a closely related subject area (or international equivalent 55-65% or GPA of 6.0-7.0/10). The following disciplines are typical although this is not an exhaustive list and the suitability of all applicants will be assessed via a combination of portfolio and interview:

• Design for the built environment including: architecture, urban design and planning, interior design, garden design
• Other design or arts related disciplines may also be considered, including: fashion, film, graphics, product design, etc
• Land or plant-based sciences including: geography, horticulture, forestry or agriculture, ecology, environmental science and management
• Engineering, including especially: civil, hydrological and structural engineering

Overseas applicants will require IELTS with an overall score of 6.5 with no less than 5.5 in any category

In most cases, international students with a closely related qualification from their home country are eligible for the 2-year course, which helps them adapt to the specific professional and cultural context of the discipline in the UK. In exceptional circumstances, where considerable work experience in landscape architecture is demonstrated, students are eligible for Part 2 entry.
