EMiLA is a master’s programme provided by the five leading universities and schools of landscape architecture in Europe. One core idea of EMiLA is to make use of the diversity of educational programmes to create and strengthen a Europe-wide network, from which teaching, research and practice profit. The project aims at accumulating knowledge of landscape architecture, which is a young discipline.
ENSP Versailles has outstanding expertise in strategic, large-scale landscape design. The Leibniz University of Hannover has a strong track record in combining design with research. The University of Edinburgh/ Edinburgh College of Art has a high level of competency in the intensive exchange between landscape architecture and the different art disciplines, which leads to highly creative approaches. The Amsterdam University of the Arts/ Amsterdam Academy of Architecture is noted for its four-year interdisciplinary master’s programme in architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning, in which students spend 50% of their time in landscape architecture offices. ETSAB is highly experienced in the design of public open spaces, where it can draw on the experience of Barcelona, which is world-famous for its urban open space programme.
