Land Management B. Sc.
The bachelor course of studies (partial degree) in Land Management is an offer aimed specifically at students of the bachelor's degree program Geography of the Ludwig-Maximilian Universität in Munich. It was designed to offer the students access to expertise and special knowledge of the different disciplines of the Technical University of Munich.
During five semesters interdisciplinary knowledge in complex areas like land management, community development and environmental science is communicated. Thereby students learn about instruments and methods of spatial planning and land development as well as they get in contact with practical experiences and actual problems of the field.
What you'll learn for your future?
As a graduate, you will be able to work independently on interdisciplinary land-related issues. You understand the connection between environmental planning and land policy and can evaluate certain planning models and methods regarding the land aspect. You are familiar with the basic principles of land use planning and are able to relate technical tasks to larger societal contexts such as demography, economic performance or structural policy.
In addition, you are familiar with the legal foundations, hierarchies, processes and objectives of spatial planning. You will be able to comprehend the functioning and structure of public administrations and understand instruments of public law. Your knowledge will enable you to develop and implement structured and future-oriented development strategies for rural and urban living spaces. Thanks to your interdisciplinary way of thinking, you will be able to work independently or as part of a team on complex problems in the field of land readjustment and land development. You have developed your skills in intercultural communication and can actively resolve conflicts.
If you decide to start your career after graduating from the bachelor's program in land readjustment and land development, then prospects will open up in the public sector as well as in private engineering and planning offices in areas such as land and land development, land readjustment, environmental planning, and research and development.
