can i be a landscape architect with a degree in architecture?

We Answered:

You do not need any particular certification to work in the field of landscape architecture, but doing meaningful work will require specialized knowledge, and ultimately you must be licensed to call yourself a Landscape Architect. In the USA that means you would need to pass a series of exams (not unlike those required to earn an architect's license) that are specific to the field and probably not covered in your architecture studies: grading and drainage, plants and ecology, business practices, etc. Eligibility for those exams varies from state to state, but probably includes a degree in landscape (not building) architecture, and an "apprenticeship" with a licensed landscape architect. Although the disciplines are related and often collaborate, landscape architecture is a specialty (not to mention a smaller field than building architecture). Even though you may have relevant skills such as CAD and project management, you would be competing against plenty of job-seekers with landscape architecture experience, degrees and portfolios. Obviously your work will speak for itself, and your chances depend on variables such as your skills, the needs of a given firm at a given time, the overall economy, etc.; but if you can't find a job in building architecture even with a degree, I wouldn't count on being able to "switch over" to landscape architecture.

Donald Said:

What would the Australian equivalent of a Bachelor's Degree in Landscape Architecture be called?

We Answered:

Here is a list of courses and universities that offer the degree in Australia

It would be a good idea for you to contact the relevant professional/accrediting professional associate in the USA to determine if they would register you as a landscape architect based on your Australian degree. Most likely they will. But get this information before you make a final decision.

Hope this helps.
