Programme

The first year of the Landscape Architecture programme focuses on the development of core knowledge on landscape architecture theory, techniques and repertoire and the active practicing of design skills on various levels of complexity and scale. The second year is dedicated to interdisciplinary electives followed by the graduation project.

From September 2025 the fifth quarter (Q5) allows you to choose electives offered by or in collaboration with other TU Delft faculties, or with public or private partners. This new Q5 offers students the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience from collaborating in projects with other disciplines or challenges found outside the walls of our own faculty. More information on the electives offered in Q5 is available as from April 2025.

Graduation
The Flowscapes graduation studio (40 EC) is scheduled in Q6, Q7 and Q8. It is structured around a variety of so-called graduation labs that link to our research programme Landscape Systems and Compositions. Students are invited to choose one of these labs. In Q6 you select a topic and site, develop a study plan and start a research proposal that eventually leads to your graduation thesis. In Q7 and Q8 the focus lies on landscape design. In Q6 a separate methodology course (5 EC) provides the foundation for your research activities.

An important objective during graduation is the development of a critical position in relation to the discipline, society and the built environment.
