Learn to DESIGN landscapes

The Landscape Architecture and Urbanism programmes (BA, MA, MLA, MSc and PhD) at the University of Greenwich, London, are focused on the speculative design of future landscapes and cities informed by site-focused research and live projects.

History of innovation

Programmes encourage design invention and experimentation from within one of the oldest schools of landscape in the UK, with notable lecturers such Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe and renowned graduates such as Marti Franch Matllori.

Programmes are based in the award-winning Stockwell Street building within the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site. Students have gone on to lead design and planning studios such as Gustafson Porter + Bowman and delivering projects like the London Olympic Park.
