Gannon GRADUATE
I found Landscape Architecture in UCD a hugely interesting, rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable course. It challenges students in a variety of design related areas from large scale urban design to street and garden design. Te creative side
of the course is coupled with relevant environ- mental subjects and practical field trips. Staff were extremely supportive and helped each student find their own niche! Since graduating I have undertaken a Planning and Development Internship with Te Heritage Council and am currently employed as a Landscape Architect. My day to day work varies from working on wind farm projects, to designing parks and courtyards. If you have a creative interest and appreciate the natural environment, then the broad exciting world of Landscape Architecture awaits you!
