Summary
The MSc Architecture, Landscape, and Environment offers you the opportunity to advance your studies in the dynamic teaching and learning environment of Edinburgh College of Art. This programme allows you to explore and work with an expanded understanding of critical theories and practices at the forefront of contemporary environmental and societal challenges, delivered by an experienced group of research-led senior staff at the University of Edinburgh.
Interdisciplinary in nature, the MSc Architecture, Landscape, and Environment provides a unique opportunity to explore the interconnected nature of architectural and landscape practices with environmental concerns. The programme has a generalist structure, which delivers individual student experiences through a flexible framework that focuses on student-led choice in the shaping of a learning experience, allowing you to appreciate and develop a wide range of specialised and experimental approaches relevant to the field of situated, spatial and site-related theory and practice.
Your experience is defined by your choice of option courses and the focus of your final research projects. You will draw on a wide range of courses addressing architectural, landscape, and environmental themes, while compulsory courses address the sites and methods of creative research. You will work closely with academic staff in seminars; you will engage with sites in Edinburgh and Scotland, the UK and abroad, through fieldwork; and you will undertake a supervised research project following two semesters of coursework.
