In 2015/16 the Landscape Architecture programmes at the University of Greenwich celebrate their 50th anniversary. Throughout the year we will be reflecting on the great achievements of previous lecturers, such as Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe as well as the work of our alumni. At the heart or the celebrations will be our current students and graduates who continue to develop outstanding landscape architecture work.
