Course Description

We are offering two paths to obtain a master’s degree in Landscape Studies and Greenspace Management.

Both paths contain elements of landscape studies and green-space management and also include the opportunity to im-prove language skills, experience other ways of working and gain insight into specialized fields on the edge of landscape studies and greenspace management, meet other cultures and the chance to explore Mecklenburg’s unique landscapes. The course is taught in English and the teaching programme is open for both German and international students.

Path A is for students with bachelor degrees in Landscape Architecture and lasts two semesters . The first semester con-sists of three compulsory and two compulsory‐elective mo-dules which prepare the way for the final semester and an intensive four month master‐thesis.

Path B is for students with bachelor degrees in subjects re-lated to landscape architecture, such as Architecture, Land-scape Planning, Landscape Ecology and Geography. Path B lasts four semesters. The first semester consists of three compulsory and two compulsory‐elective modules. For the second semester path B students join path A and share the three compulsory modules during the winter semester. The 3rd semester is an internship and leads to the four month master‐thesis in the final winter semester.

University of Applied Sciences and Region

The Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences campus is located between the town centre of Neubrandenburg and Lake Tollense in the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommerania. The region is a popular holiday area set within an attrac-tive landscape between Germany’s capital city Berlin and the beautiful sandy shores of the Baltic Sea. This landscape is dotted with historic manor houses and their landscaped gardens, lakes and rolling hills formed at the end of the last major ice age.

With just over 2000 students our campus offers an intimate atmosphere to study and learn with an excellent professor/student ratio. As the name “University of Applied Sciences” suggests, our courses are orientated to dealing with practical problems and finding practical solutions.

We have excellent facilities which include modern laborato-ries, workshops, libraries, CAD- and seminar rooms, lecture halls, a refrectory, a coffee-shop, study areas and on campus student accommodation.

We work in close cooperation with local businesses and insti-tutions, but are also linked to companies and partners all over the world. The teaching staff integrate their current projects and research into the curriculum to keep the courses fresh and up to date.

Our university welcomes applications from international and German students alike as well as from our partners.
