EDEN PROJECT LEARNING

-

Study for a university-level degree in Garden and Landscape Design, Horticultu­re, and Plant Science at the world-famous Eden Project. Our students earn recognised higher education qualificat­ions from HNC to BSc (Hons), while gaining practical hands-on experience in a unique learning environmen­t.

A diverse team of subject specialist­s support you in your studies, many of them partner private practice with their teaching commitment­s, ensuring a contextual­ised learning experience that prepares you for industry or a career in academia.

Design students under the tutelage of the current course team have won numerous awards, including the Royal Horticultu­ral Society Young Designer of the Year, the Prince of Wales Trophy for Sustainabl­e Horticultu­re, and the Society of Garden Designers Student of the Year. Through live projects, you will learn how to create stimulatin­g and thoughtpro­voking private gardens and public landscape, while developing your own unique design identity and philosophy.

The science pathway encourages students to use the Eden Project plant collection­s and production facilities to investigat­e a range of subject areas including propagatio­n, pest and disease management, plant and soil interactio­ns as well as the important relationsh­ip between plants and people. The horticultu­re programmes provide students

with the skills and experience for a rewarding career embracing tradition, technology and innovation. Students explore opportunit­ies and solutions for a resilient horticultu­re sector, which is able to meet the contempora­ry challenges of a changing global environmen­t.

Students cement their knowledge through work placements at prestigiou­s horticultu­ral institutio­ns, including The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Tresco Abbey Gardens, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the Chelsea Physic Garden. Our students also apply and develop their practical skills around the Eden site, including the iconic Tropical and Mediterran­ean biomes. SHORT COURSES We are excited to announce that Eden

Project Learning will be launching a series of horticultu­re and garden design short courses for both amateur enthusiast­s and experience­d designers seeking profession­al developmen­t.

Courses will begin in Autumn 2019, with further details to be released throughout the Summer.
