About this course
Landscape Architecture has been taught at University of Greenwich since 1965, so many graduates find employment through the expansive alumni network in London, across the UK and overseas.
Some Landscape Architecture graduates work in architecture, landscape architecture or urban design practices. Other graduates have joined government design and planning offices to develop urban strategies and policy. Some graduates have also followed further studies through doctorate research.
The School of Design has an Employability Officer for postgraduate students to consult about opportunities relevant to the course. They work closely with professionals in industry to ensure you are well-prepared for the workplace and have begun to build your professional network by the time you graduate.
The central Employability and Careers Service also provides support for students preparing to apply for placements and graduate roles, such as CV clinics, mock interviews and employability skills workshops.
You should have a good Bachelor's degree and a portfolio of creative and visual work.
