During the first two to three weeks of semester students are offered a number of presentations which introduce students to the nature and types of research in landscape architecture, the discipline's scholarly literature, and issues of methodology and research practice. This is followed by five to six weeks of lectures devoted to theories and themes underpinning contemporary practice (e.g. typologies such as parks, suburbs and landscape urbanism). Students are then offered a choice of special study areas organised by staff and an additional three to four weeks of seminar study. The final weeks of semester are devoted to developing the student's own area of interest. -- Course Website
