| Course description | The placement includes a Master Studio (28% of teaching), plus practical experience at a landscape architect practice (26% of teaching). The remaining 46% of teaching is spent on workshops and seminars. The Master Studio deals with large scale landscape design. Design research leads to the visualisation of possible developments at an early stage. The practice placement enables the student to come into contact with every stage of the planning or building process from design to completion in the course of the study period and to gain insight into the links between those different parts of the trajectory. |

The external curriculum promotes training as a professional Landscape Architect. |
Assessment Information

Special Arrangements
| This is an umbrella course to cover the 50 credits undertaken by European Masters in Landscape Architecture (EMiLA), who choose AHK for their first placement. |
