Master in 조경학과

The Department of Landscape Architecture at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) focuses on the design and planning of outdoor spaces, including parks, gardens, urban public spaces, and larger-scale environmental and ecological landscapes. Students typically study landscape design and planting design, site planning, ecological principles, urban open space planning, and the technical skills needed to translate landscape concepts into buildable plans, combining creative design work with an understanding of environmental science and land management. This preparation supports careers in landscape design firms, urban planning agencies, environmental consultancies, and public sector roles managing parks and green infrastructure. The program is offered at Sungkyunkwan University in Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, as a master's degree over two years, with new cohorts admitted in March and September of every year. Instruction is conducted in English, allowing an international student body to study landscape architecture in a Korean context that includes both dense urban environments and significant public investment in green space and parks. Studio-based design projects typically form a core part of the coursework, alongside classes covering planting science, site engineering, and environmental planning. Graduates commonly pursue roles as landscape designers, urban open space planners, environmental consultants, and project managers for parks and public realm projects, working for design firms, government agencies, or development companies. The program suits students interested in shaping outdoor environments at the intersection of design, ecology, and urban planning.
