I really enjoy the flexibility of the course

Jess Postgate MA Landscape Design, Planning and Management

Jess studied her undergraduate degree here in the School of Architecture and Landscape so knew how good the teaching and opportunities were in the department. Even though they were specialising in Landscape Architecture, they still wanted to learn in the same school as Architects, and had the opportunity to collaborate on live projects with them at the start of the year.
