Bachelor of Landscape Architecture

Program Overview

Landscape architecture is undoubtedly one of the most relevant design disciplines today. Global climate change is altering everything - everywhere in the world. We are faced with necessary tasks relating to the design and build of our surrounding environments and ecologies. The landscape and its functions, its ecosystem services and its appearance, will inevitably change, not slow but rapidly. Landscape architects must contribute to the design of this future landscape - urban, semi-urban, and rural. How competitive: applicants from the EU apply through the CAO and are ranked on points. In round 1 of 2026, places went to applicants with 478 points or more. UCD does not publish how it scores the IB. On Trinity College Dublin's indicative scale for the IB, that is about 35 points, or about 33 with Higher Level Mathematics at 4 or better, which adds 25. Applicants from outside the EU apply to UCD directly, where 24 points makes them eligible to compete for a place.
