Program structure 

The six-semester program is offered in a modular format. Successful completion of modules is credited based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). This system facilitates mobility between comparable courses in Germany and abroad.

The bachelor’s degree program “Landscape Engineering” is part of a joint program of degree courses in the field of landscape architecture at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. Due to the subject-related similarities and a wide range of professional connections, three programs begin with an identical first semester.
