Global warming, loss of habitat, erosion, de-forestation, urban sprawls and pollution are concerns we are all faced with.

Sustainability, eco-tourism and greening the planet have become major topics that have resulted in specialised fields of study. Landscape Technology is a field that comprises the built environment as a study area. The increasing demand for environmental quality has led to the rapid expansion of landscape planning as a career, concentrating on the development of aesthetically pleasing, functional a

nd ecologically stable landscapes spaces for the community. This area of interest includes design, construction, plant material studies, environmental studies, as well as management subjects. It becomes clear that even inside the boundaries of the landscape industry, a diverse field of specialisation exists. Both national diploma and BTech courses in landscape technology are specialised programmes at CPUT, equipping practice-orientated professionals. The positioning of the courses within the faculty makes the programmes unique in relation to other landscape qualifications offered at other tertiary institutions – with a greater emphasis on plant sciences. Our students have an edge over other graduates using advance plant knowledge to inform spatial design projects. The courses are aligned with current industry needs and include AutoCAD, computer draughting and presentation components. This ensures that our graduates are sought after and find work in landscape architectural practices and landscape contracting companies, as well as research-related posts.
