Landscape Architecture

Our accredited landscape architecture degree provides the professional skills to design the future spaces around us. Improve and refine our daily lives via the creation of sustainable public places.

Teaching takes place in our state-of-the-art Stockwell Street Building, which is home to the School of Design. Here you will be working in our extensive design studios whilst also interacting with other design and creative disciplines. This amazing building contains a large interior living wall and many green roofs, which are used for teaching and research projects.

You'll study a range of approaches to landscape design, from public spaces and waterfronts to town planning, urban development and regional strategies. As well as design studio work, you'll learn about the history and theory of landscapes, ecology, conservation, and digital communication. Our Landscape Architecture programmes encourage innovation and experimentation alongside practical approaches, allowing students the freedom to develop cutting-edge and workable design solutions to some of today’s environmental and social challenges. Your course portfolio will support employment opportunities in leading landscape architecture practices in the UK and around the world.

Our landscape architecture degree is the only course of its kind in London and is accredited by the Landscape Institute. Completion enables our students to start on their ‘Pathway to Chartership’ as Associate members of the Landscape Institute.

Avery Hill Campus offers students a relaxed environment in the leafy London neighbourhood of Eltham and is only 30 minutes by train from central London. Everything is on-site and there are many students living on campus so it's a lively place to be.

Medway Campus is a historic site with redbrick buildings in north Kent. Students live, work and socialise on-site. There's a shopping centre across the road and the train to London takes 45 minutes.
