Course description

The Master's program in Nature Conservation and Landscape Planning offers a deep dive into scientific knowledge and professional skills in landscape planning.

These factors are transforming nature and landscapes both regionally and globally. Understanding and evaluating social and ecological processes is a core goal of this Master's program. Students receive training grounded in the latest scientific research. This education equips them to develop innovative solutions for nature conservation. They learn to implement these solutions through landscape planning and other conservation tools. The program emphasizes practical and theoretical knowledge, preparing graduates to address the pressing environmental issues of our time.
