Making an Application

If you decide to apply to one (or more) of our undergraduate courses you will need to apply through the centralised UCAS system.

UCAS website

Each year we have more applications than places for our courses, so please take time to ensure your application fully reflects your interest in the profession and your elected course(s). We pay particular attention to the personal statement section of the application and it is worth checking that this clearly states why you are motivated to study landscape architecture, and what steps you have taken to inform this choice. Our section on `entry requirements´ may help.

We deal with applications promptly as they arrive at our department (via UCAS and the University Admission section). If we decide to invite you to interview, you will receive a letter inviting you to one our department open days. We strongly encourage you to attend one of these as they are a fantastic chance to look round the department as well as fulfil the interview requirement. For those unable to attend the departmental open days we usually undertake a telephone interview and ask you to send us samples of visual work for consideration. For more information on open days and interviews please see the following section.

After your interview we will write to you within a week to let you know whether you are accepted onto the course(s). This will later be confirmed through the UCAS system.
