Landscape Management & Nature Conservation

A sustainable development of land use requires a differentiated, future-oriented land use management. We have faced up to the need for the future and have become a pioneer for a corresponding educational profile with the Bachelor's degree programme in Landscape Use and Nature Conservation since 1993. With us you study with experience for your future!

What makes the study programme special?

Your Landscape Use and Conservation degree will enable you to practically analyse and evaluate all components and processes in the landscape habitat and to plan and implement ecologically and socially sustainable developments. To do this, you will learn many methods and, together with a diverse field trip experience, you will thus receive an intensive practical orientation already in your studies. Solidly trained experts are increasingly needed worldwide in nature conservation, land use management and settlement planning.

Individual study contents

You complete the Landscape Use and Nature Conservation degree programme after six semesters. Afterwards, you can enter professional life directly or continue your qualification with a Master's degree. In the first third of the study programme, only the basics are taught. Then, as a student in the 3rd semester, you begin your practical study semester (practical phase). The 4th, 5th and 6th semesters form the specialised studies, in which you specialise in compulsory elective modules and with a thematic final thesis in the 6th semester.

Modules per semester

In the basic studies (first and second semesters), the focus is on teaching the fundamentals of natural sciences.

Career prospects

In the Landscape Use and Conservation degree programme, you will be trained for versatile tasks in a growing future industry. You will be able to analyse and evaluate all components and processes in the landscape habitat as well as plan and implement ecologically and socially sustainable developments.

Specialisation options

Those interested in environmental education will find an excellent basis in this degree programme. Building on this, you can receive comprehensive and professionally qualifying training in the field of environmental education/education for sustainable development in the Master's programme "Sustainable Regional Development" through the "Specialisation in Environmental Education/Education for Sustainable Development" given there. It is also possible to specialise in "Protected Area Management".

Prospects / job profiles

With this degree, you can take on civil society responsibility in your profession and beyond. The Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) degree is suitable for a quick entry into a profession or qualifies you to take up an in-depth Master's programme. The Master's programme Sustainable Regional Development would be the consecutive continuation of the degree programme. This combination is a unique training for practice in Germany on sustainability, environmental communication and nature conservation.

Particularly useful for my work today were the very different modules and subject areas, all of which are relevant and important in
a biosphere reserve.
