Master's Programme in Landscape Ecology

About this programme

The Master’s programme in Landscape Ecology is designed for those who want to acquire skills that make them attractive in any context where nature, landscape, and societal development intersect. It is a program for those who seek a deeper understanding of topics such as habitat monitoring, biodiversity conservation and restoration, ecosystem services, and the use of landscapes and their resources. You’ll study in a research environment where theory meets practice. The program is firmly grounded in current research in landscape ecology, landscape analysis, and natural resource management. You’ll work on collecting and analysing real-world data in actual landscapes. This is a program that not only explains the world but also gives you the tools to change it. You’ll develop skills that are in demand globally. With advanced skills in GIS, remote sensing, ecological modelling, and landscape planning, you’ll be an attractive candidate for employers in nature conservation, government agencies, the consulting industry, research, and international organizations. You’ll gain a perspective that spans both time and space. Landscape ecology is about understanding processes across multiple scales—from local habitats to entire regions, from historical changes to future scenarios. This ability is essential for addressing climate change, biodiversity crises, and sustainable land use. You’ll become part of a dedicated and multidisciplinary group of students. The program attracts students with backgrounds in biology, geography, environmental science, and geosciences.
