In this unit students will demonstrate their expanding knowledge of Landscape Architectural Design. Landscape planning & design brings together the diverse range of knowledge and skills of landscape architects to address social & ecological problems on sites that range from the urban to the regional, the natural & the artificial, and at the different scales that suit them. In design studio students develop these skills and synthesise their learning from all their subjects, by applying them to real-world briefs, simulating professional practice. As students progress through the sequence of landscape design studios, their degree of difficulty & scope of projects increases and greater professional quality is expected of design project outcomes.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.

Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.

UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.

Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
