Inha University Launches Incheon's First Graduate Program in Landscape Architecture... Now Recruiting New Students
Inha University announced on June 10 that it will be the first university in the Incheon region to establish a graduate school specializing in landscape architecture, and will begin recruiting new students for the Department of Urban Design and Landscape Architecture and the Department of Urban Landscape Architecture (contract-based department).
Through the new graduate school, Inha University plans to cultivate talent in the urban and landscape sectors and to establish an education and research system that reflects regional characteristics and the urban environment.
In particular, Inha University aims to strengthen regionally focused education by conducting integrated research in the fields of urban design, landscape architecture, environment, and public space in Incheon, a city where coastal areas, reclaimed land, new towns, and old downtown areas coexist.
In Incheon, the need for cultivating landscape architecture professionals has consistently been raised due to the development of Songdo, Yeongjong, and Cheongna International Cities, the creation of large-scale green spaces, and old downtown regeneration projects.
The graduate programs are divided into master's, doctoral, and integrated master's and doctoral tracks, with applications being accepted from June 15 to June 26.
