Landscape Management

FdSc Landscape Management

The lush greenery and spectacular scenery around the UK is largely the product of effective and innovative landscape design and management. Landscape character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors. Our natural landscapes, townscapes and urban areas are a result of good planning, fine attention to detail, landscape expertise and cutting-edge design.

Landscape design and management will introduce you to the techniques and knowledge needed to effectively manage the country's land-based resources and create landscape and urban spaces with a sense of place. You will be guided through key areas of urban renewal, rural land resource management and landscape design for plants and buildings. Conservation and sustainability are also a central focus of our landscape design and management degrees, with topics such as renewable energy explored.
