Faculty of Architecture and Landscape

At the Faculty of Architecture and Landscape, the space-defining disciplines of architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture and environmental planning are combined in an internationally outstanding way. In the research focus Habitats of the Future / Future Habitats, interdisciplinarity is the basis for reflection and innovation in construction, as well as in relation to biodiversity and the climate crisis in urban and rural areas.

As an expression of the search for spatial quality on all scales, design is the focus of the architecture and landscape architecture studies. The quality of teaching is reflected in the annual publications of the HOCHWEIT faculty and in the awards for study and theses. The architecture courses are at the forefront of architecture education in Germany (CHE Ranking 2019). Leibniz University is one of the 50 best architecture schools in Europe (Domus Guide 2017). In the most important international ranking of landscape architecture and environmental planning, the Barcelona Biennial of Landscape Architecture, Leibniz University regularly ranks as the only German university among the ten best educational institutions worldwide.

This exceptional position of the faculty is flanked by a strong international orientation.

Cooperations with currently 77 universities worldwide enable Bachelor and Master students to spend a semester abroad. Students from abroad start studying at our faculty - also in English. Generous work rooms, which are open to all students around the clock, create ideal conditions for their studies and for direct communication between students and teachers.
