Throughout the course of study, the core curriculum is arranged in 3 broad strands of design, construction and horticulture. In the study of garden design, the design studio is inevitably the primary focus.
But to design successfully, you need knowledge and understanding of the cultural, historical, technical and practical subjects which are integrated – often implicitly – in the design process and explicitly in the construction module.

Each semester, you will complete two major design assignments based on a real sites and clients, plus additional projects to be completed in their own time.
You will also attend lectures outlined in the curriculum starting with design philosophy, progressing to construction and specification and finally concentrating on planting theory and professional practice.
Other elements of the course consist of a range of associated subjects of which, garden history, CAD and portfolio presentation are the most important.
These are taught through lectures and seminars and are expected both to provide a wider design understanding and to facilitate project work.
