Central challenges of our society are climate change, the decline of biodiversity, socio-ecological transformations and health. Those who choose this master's program will scientifically address these challenges and develop creative and innovative concepts for a sustainable and livable environment in urban and rural areas.

Existing ideas will be critically questioned and thought through further, and new ideas will be tested and discussed. In the process, we work in various master's degrees on design drafts, planning concepts and scientifically based strategies for future spaces. Master's graduates act in a social context: they analyze, develop and design landscapes and urban open spaces as functional and identification spaces.

The profile of the Master's program is research-oriented and qualifies students for scientific work as well as for reflective planning and design. An important goal of this degree is the attainment of the so-called "chamber eligibility", because only members of the chambers of architects and planners have access to all possibilities of the profession. Based on current issues from research and practice, in-depth basic knowledge is taught in four semesters at the University of Kassel. Graduates work in a structural-spatial or strategic-conceptual context. They apply their design, planning-conceptual and scientific knowledge and skills in complex and interdisciplinary contexts.

Four master's majors contribute to an individual study profile and help orient students to the requirements of different professional fields. Students can specialize in "Landscape Architecture and Open Space Planning", "Landscape Construction and Plant Use", "Environmental Planning and Landscape Management" and "Urban Design".
