- Description/content
- The Master's programme in "Environmental Planning and Territorial Development" (Umwelt- und Regionalplanung) trains young researchers in environmental and spatial planning. There are two different study lines (majors): "Naturschutz und Landschaftsplanung" (Nature Conservation and Landscape Planning), which is conducted in German and includes the option to choose English modules, and "Territorial Development" (Regionalplanung), which is conducted in English. Both majors are research-oriented and interdisciplinary. Students have the opportunity to gain insights into current research projects dealing with landscape planning, territorial development, regional governance, and the challenges to protect biodiversity and to develop sustainable land use. Furthermore, adaptation and mitigation measures concerning climate change are another important research field. The teaching programme is made up of lectures, seminars, and especially study projects, and it is closely linked with research projects on the above-mentioned topics. Courses offered by other institutes, faculties and external lecturers extend the programme's offer and give students a wide range of specialisation opportunities.
