Study architecture and landscape

The Department of Architecture and Landscape at Kingston has established a clear position within the UK context of architecture and landscape education. Our concern is with continuity in architectural culture, and in making work which is sensitive to situation and context.

The graduating practitioner from Kingston is a generalist capable of thinking and making with the technical and critical skills required to be both nimble and empowered to act in today's diverse architectural and landscape culture.

Our reputation is reflected in the recent Guardian University Guide rankings 2023 where Kingston came second in London and No.11 in the UK for architecture.
