Brief description

The aim of the dual study program in landscaping is to systematically and structurally link practical work experience from companies in the gardening and landscaping sector and theoretical knowledge from vocational school with the academic component of a degree program. 
The module Practical Transfer I is an important building block for this. The practical work in the company is reflected upon and critically scrutinized alternately with theoretical content from the courses. The subject-related seminar content is aligned with the learning fields of Level 1 of the theoretical vocational training for gardeners in horticulture and landscaping.
