The MLA curriculum is anchored by four design studios, dissertation and ten lecture courses/electives. Of the four design studios, typically two are overseas studios which provide students valuable opportunities to explore landscape design under a myriad of socio-cultural, ecological and socio-economic context in the surrounding Asian region. The studios are organized into a sequence which increases in scale and complexity, culminating in a landscape planning studio at the regional scale. The lecture courses and electives provide knowledge in geodesign, urban ecology, topical areas like landscape urbanism, water urbanism, urban agriculture, and advanced digital landscape representation and modelling.
