The Bachelor and Masters courses of study in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning provide professional training and the best possible preparation in terms of meeting the demands of the labour market. Graduates work for such companies as planning offices and landscaping firms, find employment with environmental protection agencies or associations or may be active in research or educational establishments.

These courses were accredited in the summer semester of 2008 and are the only courses of their kind in the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

They provide a solid grounding and cross-sectional training in the fields of ecology and environmental protection, landscape and open space planning and landscape design. The courses feature a wide range of subject provision, including a high proportion of project-based programmes which are often run in conjunction with local authorities, institutions, associations and companies. This both provides students with generalist training and affords them the opportunity to pursue specialist areas in line with their own individual interests.

The Bachelor course of study is normally of six semesters’ duration and provides an extensive and practically based programme in landscape architecture and environmental planning. The degree of Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning is conferred on successful completion of the course of study.

The Masters course in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning is a postgraduate course aimed at specialisation and normally extends over a period of four semesters, the fourth semester being devoted to preparation of the Masters thesis. The Masters course leads to the academic degree of Master of Science in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning.
