Design units are taken sequentially and are available in either semester. These units are research design studios which examine the key critical issues underlying design through the vehicle of a program nominated by the student and agreed with the supervisor. Students are expected to produce a design associated with their research work to a detailed design level.

The Bioregional Studio specifically concerns broad landscape conditions and how they inform design processes unique to landscape architecture. The studio is also the first of six consecutive studios, each themed so as to expose students to the main situations in which landscape architects work. The studio investigates the landscape's cultural and ecological systems as the context for site-specific designs and planning strategies.

The Rural Studio concerns the environmental, cultural and aesthetic conditions of agricultural and related industrial landscapes. The studio generally undertakes an analysis of the context and then explores a range of master planning strategies to variously develop, manage and conserve the landscape. Thereafter, finer-grained studies of specific sites and themes constitute the studio's main design exercises. The studio may involve community collaborations and field trips.

The Suburban Studio concerns the built environment, places where most Australians live. It offers design projects which challenge the structural and aesthetic orthodoxy of contemporary suburbia. The studio fosters a critical attitude and cultivates innovative design proposals and design experimentation. Carefully choreographed relationships between built and open space, between public and private land, and between large and small scales are explored.

This unit interprets the development of landscape architecture in Australia from the colonial period to c.1980. Key works and theories of designers are analysed in relation to thematic issues such as colonialism, modernism, postmodernism, the dialogue between architecture and landscape, and the ongoing search for an Australian design ethos. Emphasising the twentieth century, the works are next situated within the broader context of global theory and practice.

This unit comprises a series of lectures and site visits. Lecture topics include map reading and contours; gradient calculations and interpolation; ramps and stairs calculations and analysis; design of drainage, swales and culverts; parking design; and water harvesting and retention.

This unit teaches computer skills relevant to the professional practice of landscape architecture, including CAD, terrain modelling and three-dimensional landscape architectural representations. The unit encompasses practical exercises and assignments which educate students to a proficient level of 'hands-on' computer skills relevant to the practice of landscape architecture.

The Urban Studio focuses on places where the city's cultural and economic dynamism is at its most intense. By design-based projects the studio investigates the contemporary spatiality of cities, tracking them in time as well as along an axis from the local to the global. The studio encourages a theoretical and experimental approach to urbanity, particularly in hindsight of the twentieth century. Via sophisticated multimedia representations, students design built and open spaces in concert.

The Garden Studio is about resolving and composing relatively small-scale forms as embodiments of meaning. Gardens are defined as small enclosed spaces and while a knowledge of plants is significant, the garden designs undertaken by the studio are more metaphorical than horticultural. Historically, gardens have been the formal and intellectual laboratory of landscape architecture, a tradition of fine art that this studio honours.

Drawing on aspects of science, philosophy and the arts, this unit surveys the historical relationship between culture and nature. It presents an overview of the ways in which 'nature' has been understood mythically, theologically, ideologically, philosophically, scientifically, artistically, ecologically and politically. The unit connects this broad history of ideas to contemporary conditions of ecological crisis and in turn folds this into the practice of landscape architecture.

This unit comprises a series of lectures, site visits and workshops. Students develop material sources and detail specifications as a resource for use in their final design studios. Students continue to develop their computer skills in the design and drafting of their articulated site details. Topics covered in the unit include drawing details; safety and liability; wall construction; concrete techniques; sustainable landscape; construction; small structures and site amenities; landscape restoration—earthworks and reclamation; water detailing; connections; lighting; and assorted materials—metals, fabrics, glass, fibreglass and plastics.

The Detail Studio focuses on the details of landscape design. It requires the student to resolve spatial design with well-crafted construction details as well as addressing the minutiae of construction. This studio underpins previous explorations in the embodiment of meaning and metaphor in form by reinforcing a technical proficiency required in a constructed landscape.

This Independent Design studio requires the demonstration of ability and acquired competence in design. In addition to addressing a design brief, students establish theoretical, aesthetic, critical and technical parameters that form the basis for design investigation. While projects may vary in scale and complexity they are required to incorporate the full range of knowledge and skills necessary for a fully resolved design proposition. Projects of an experimental nature are encouraged.

This unit focuses on the entirety of landscape design, its complexity and resolution. It represents the culmination of a university education in the discipline of landscape architecture. The studio varies thematically, taking advantage of visitors to the school, competitions, current local events and travelling studios.

This unit comprises a series of guest lectures and site visits. Lecture topics include the importance of accurate and legible tender/construction documents including types and styles of construction drawings, site layout, grading plans, soft landscape (planting plan), hard landscape (typical details), technical specifications, contracts and standards, bill of quantities and cost estimates, and standard contract documents. The unit consists of a short design project of a set commercial space and then series of lectures, site visits and practical exercises in which the students progressively prepare the technical documents for this space. The final part of the unit is the culmination of the documents as a professional tender/construction report with bill of quantities and standard contract documents.

During the first two to three weeks of semester students are offered a number of presentations which introduce students to the nature and types of research in landscape architecture, the discipline's scholarly literature, and issues of methodology and research practice. There follows five to six weeks of lectures devoted to theories and themes underpinning contemporary practice (e.g. typologies such as parks, suburbs and landscape urbanism). Students are then offered a choice of special study areas organised by staff and an additional three to four weeks of seminar study. The final weeks of semester are devoted to developing the student's own area of interest.
