Celebrating 75 years of Landscape

Celebrating 75 Years of Landscape at Newcastle University, 1949-2024 – Diary date!

In the academic year 2024-25 we celebrate 75 years of Landscape in Newcastle, first at Kings College - then part of the University of Durham - and since 1963 as Newcastle University.  In 1949 Professor Brian Hackett laid plans for what became the first post-war postgraduate diploma in Landscape Design in the UK.   It only seems a blink of an eye since 1999 when we celebrated the golden Jubilee - 50 years - of Landscape Architecture at Newcastle! 

Much has happened since then, not least the launch of a two-year MA in Landscape Architecture - accredited with the Landscape Institute, a one-year MSc in Advanced Landscape Planning and Management, and a highly active research group - The Landscape Collaboratory. Once again, we have much to celebrate, to review and reflect upon.  We have a packed year with a number of events open to all, so watch this space! 

The culmination of our celebrations will be a week-long series of events commencing on Monday 12th May 2025.  Watch this space for further information.
