1.7 马克君点评：
墨尔本大学的LA专业分为2年和3年制，大部分同学在申请是都是两者都填报申请，至于学校给你哪个offer看缘分了，好吧，开玩笑啦。2年制的LA对于同学本身的能力有较高的要求，首先是本专业申请，其次最好有相关工作经验，并且本科的学校和成绩以及作品集都要比较突出。3年制的LA则接受转专业，因此对很多想转专业读景观建筑设计专业的同学来说，墨尔本大学不失为一个很好的选择。

1.7 马克君点评：
阿德莱德大学的景观建筑专业由于取消了秋季入学，因此现在只接受2月份的春季入学，小伙伴们在申请时需要注意这一点。阿德莱德大学会给很多同学发放预科offer，主要原因就是通过申请作品集判定申请人的能力伟达到学校的要求，因此在申请前小伙伴们最好能够将作品集尽可能的准备好。

1.7 马克君点评：
墨尔本皇家理工大学的景观建筑设计专业在澳大利亚很出名，对于小伙伴们来说，能够申请到RMIT的LA专业是一件很开心的事情。不过，这几年，RMIT对于申请的筛选越发严格，不仅开始要求提供CV和PS，而且会在申请时要求提供各种材料，小伙伴们要有一定的心理准备。
另外，开设景观建筑设计专业的学校还有迪肯大学和西澳大学，但是这两所学校并不是很推荐，对于迪肯大学，小伙伴们可以用来作为保底的学校，西澳的景观建筑专业则是Professional Practice Masters类型的，小伙伴们在选择前一定要了解清楚。
