Landscape Architecture and Landscape Planning

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Planning open spaces, protecting biodiversity, tackling climate change and developing liveable, sustainable landscapes: this is what landscape architecture and landscape planning are all about. The course teaches design, planning/conceptual and scientific knowledge. The focus is on study projects in which students learn design and planning skills as well as teamwork, time management and communication skills. The topics range from gardens and parks as the traditional workplaces of landscape architects to public spaces and green zones to more ecologically oriented planning tasks in agricultural landscapes and large conservation areas such as biosphere reserves or nature parks. With a Bachelor's degree, you can work in private planning offices, but also in specialist authorities, local administrations, other public bodies (e.g. large protected area administrations), companies and associations.
