Landscape Architecture - Master's Programme

1. As a programme student, you must apply for courses before each semester. This is true even if you are already enrolled in a degree programme. The only exception is your first semester, when you are automatically given a place on the courses of your programme. Read more about how to apply for courses.
   
   
2. To be accepted onto a course, you must meet its entry requirements. These requirements are listed in the course syllabus and in the online course catalogue. You might be admitted conditionally. If that is the case, we will check your eligibility at the start of the course before confirming registration.
   
   
3. Registration: All students who are accepted must register to keep their place on the course. You must also register to attend classes and sit exams, be covered by student insurance, and have your grades recorded. The registration process is different if you are studying a degree programme compared to freestanding courses. Read more about registration.
   
   
4. Late application: If you did not apply for a course during the regular application period, you may submit a late application. Read more about late applications.
   
   
5. Waiting list: Have you applied for a course but been placed on the waiting list? If you are on the waiting list for a course, read more about how we offer places to waitlisted students.
