The Graduate Diploma in Landscape Studies (GDipLS) is a bridging program designed for applicants without a background in Landscape Architecture who intend to pursue the Master of Tropical Landscape Architecture (MTLA) program.

The GDipLS program offers a new set of graduate-level courses with topics and learning objectives specifically designed to prepare students for the revitalized MTLA curriculum.

The program aims to develop the competencies required for master ’s-level studies by deepening and expanding students’ knowledge and skills in landscape architecture. It seeks to equip students with a stronger skill set for developing responsive and sustainable solutions to pressing landscape architecture issues across diverse contexts, from rural communities to urban environments, both locally and globally.
