Corey Annandale, Bachelor of Landscape Architecture

Bachelor of Landscape Architecture graduate Corey has a global view of where his degree might take him.

¡°It will open up heaps of opportunities for me, not only in New Zealand but around the world, as sustainable design is becoming a strong, positive global trend,¡± he says.

Since completing his degree in 2019, he¡¯s been working as a landscape architect at Second Nature Gardens Ltd in Auckland.

¡°Studying at Lincoln was ideal because there¡¯s so much to do in the South Island and it was right on our doorstep,¡± he says.

During his studies, Corey especially enjoyed design projects, ¡°because it was when we got to be our most creative¡±. He¡¯s also a keen sportsman, having played in the successful ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø basketball team.

¡°We often did quite well in the University Games, winning in 2016 and making the finals in 2017 and 2018.¡±

In terms of university facilities, he was impressed by the fact that everything he needed was available on campus.

¡°There are two really nice cafes, a warm library with heaps of desks and computers, and a Rec Centre, which has a basketball court, a gym and helpful fitness trainers.¡±

He intends to continue working in the landscape design field to gain experience, then one day he¡¯d like to start his own business.

His Lincoln experience really improved his ability to work with a diverse range of people. He became part of a very close group of classmates throughout the four years of his degree.

¡°I also met heaps of different people from all around the country in the halls,¡± he says. ¡°It now seems as if I know someone from every corner of New Zealand.¡±
