Your career: improving people's livesLandscape architecture is about creating and conserving places for people to live and work in. You'll need creativity, flair and a passion for improving people's lives. A good landscape architect is able to bring together diverse knowledge and skills to come up with imaginative, workable solutions. Our graduates work in the UK and internationally; in private practice and for public organisations. They often find jobs in their specialist areas, such as design, planning or management. Some work for councils and national parks, or for wildlife trusts. Others go into conservation and forestry. Our graduates also work in administration and policy making, for organisations such as Natural England and DEFRA.
