Landscape Sciences

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

Leibniz Universität Hannover Hannover · Lower Saxony Location: Hanover

About the Program

The Master's degree programme in Landscape Sciences uses a wide range of content and systems to teach students to analyse and predict landscape processes and to apply sound scientific methods and models in research, environmental protection, resource management and land use management. The programme focuses on interactions between the atmosphere, vegetation, soil and humans, the processes that occur in the context of these interactions, and the options available to humans to manage these processes. Equipped with a solid grounding in methodology and content, students learn how to determine, analyse and model processes in the landscape in a bid to resolve current environmental and land use problems and to develop concepts for future sustainable management strategies. Since the structure of the degree programme is interdisciplinary and interfaculty in nature, students not only receive a broad education but are also able to specialise and create their own distinct profiles.
