海博体育 the course
Are you currently practicing in the field of landscape architecture, architecture or design,聽or do you have a degree in landscape architecture? The Master of Landscape Architecture is a qualification for people who have practiced or studied in one of these areas and want to advance their skills and explore an area of their interest. In this master's by project, you鈥檒l advance your knowledge of current design techniques, and learn to present your work effectively to interdisciplinary audiences. The Master of Landscape Architecture offers landscape architects and graduates the chance to carve out a particular focus of investigation. It's a 'research through design' programme created to contribute to the landscape design discipline as well as your own professional development. The key outcome of this programme is a master level project that demonstrates your specialised skill and/or knowledge in your area of chosen expertise. There are three possible pathways through the master's, each with an emphasis on developing hands-on experience: You don鈥檛 need to have a fully developed research project when you begin this programme. Once you start, you鈥檒l have 6 weeks to refine your research proposal. During this time, you鈥檒l complete a seminar series that explores current design theory and practice, helping you develop your research question and draft a research proposal. You鈥檒l then present your draft proposal at a workshop, where you鈥檒l receive feedback from your peers, tutors, and invited industry experts. If your proposal is approved, you鈥檒l move on to a series of workshops where you鈥檒l present your work in progress for critique and evaluation by architects, landscape architects, and designers. These workshops are designed to push you beyond current models, trends, and preconceptions, encouraging innovative thinking. Throughout the year, you鈥檒l also have opportunities to attend sessions to discuss and refine your project. These workshops are open to other students, staff, industry professionals, and the public, creating a collaborative and inspiring learning environment. . We want to manaaki student success wherever we can 鈥 and scholarships are one of the ways we can do that. We have scholarships that recognise the achievements and challenges of dedicating yourself to learning. Students who didn鈥檛 study their undergraduate degree with Unitec will need to meet with an academic to discuss their professional background, which may require a review of your academic and/or professional portfolio. Once you've successfully completed this programme you'll receive the qualification: Master of Landscape Architecture. This qualification is a research master's, not an accredited postgraduate programme so you will not be able to become a registered Landscape Architect.
