Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) at University of Guelph

University of Guelph, Canada

Programme overview

The Landscape Architecture program offers courses of study leading to the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) degree. The MLA program is designed for students with a previous degree in a field unrelated to landscape architecture; for students who hold other professional degrees in architecture, planning and engineering; and for students who have received a BLA degree and are interested in advanced education in a particular area of landscape architecture. The MLA program emphasizes research, analysis, planning, design and management of landscapes ranging in scale from individual sites to entire communities and regions.

Study mode: full-time  |  Location: Guelph, Ontario, Canada

What you will study

Students in the MLA program will focus on developing their skills and knowledge through successive studios and coursework, culminating in a capstone design project studio, LARC*6700. The MLA program prides itself on the diverse backgrounds and interests that make up each of our entering classes, and the opportunities for learning that this diversity creates.
