If students love design, nature and the outdoors, are interested in society and the ways that people live, and want to make a better, more sustainable future for Ireland's towns and countrysides, then Landscape Architecture is for them. This exciting programme teaches students how to design with nature to improve the environment and the quality of people's lives.

Landscape architects work on all sorts of projects, all over the world, designing habitats for humans and non-humans: homes for city birds, playgrounds for children, rooftop gardens, streetscapes, city parks and even cities themselves. They transform urban and rural land, and water-bodies, and advise on countryside matters. Landscape design engages environmentalism, urbanism and culture, teaching important transferable skills that students will use wherever they are, whatever they do in the future.

UCD is at the forefront of Landscape Architecture education in Ireland. UCD is currently the only university in Ireland to offer an undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture. This course is accreditated by the Irish Landscape Institute (ILI) and recognized by the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA). There is an optional 6-8 month internship module in Stage 3 of the BSc Landscape Architecture.
