  • carry out spatial planning,
  • demonstrate understanding of the theoretical foundations of artistic creativity,
  • recognise artistic creativity in a developmental context,
  • identify the laws and development of settlement in a space and its spatial planning and social implications,

  • design (create) plantations (functional, ornamental) of (ornamental) plants in a space,
  • identify ecosystems or parts of ecosystems in the natural environment (communities, ecosystems, habitat types),
  • identify phenomena in the physical world (geomorphological and pedological phenomena, erosion dynamics, geological phenomena, water and climate/meteorological phenomena, etc.)
  • demonstrate understanding of the general laws of nature (e.g. evolution/succession, circulation of materials and energy, other processes in the ecosystem, etc.),

  • show capacity for creative searching (the ability to be creatively curious),
  • generate a landscape form (with natural characteristics and taking into account design starting points),
  • cooperate with experts from related fields: agriculture (horticulture), forestry, water management, acquisition of mineral resources, production of energy, land surveying, environmental protection,
  • lay out play areas for children and spaces for recreation and sport,
  • demonstrate understanding of the links between landscape design and social and economic development,
  • demonstrate understanding of the fundamental principles of the cultivation and production of ornamental and woody plants,
  • apply methods of arrangement and comparison of numerical data,
  • apply a complete analysis of functions and basic methods of optimisation and demonstrate understanding of the basics of probability theory,
  • carry out statistical data processing,
  • demonstrate understanding of the mutual connections between technologies and social and environmental questions,
  • demonstrate understanding of theories of wider erosion-related issues and erosional geomorphology as a basis for optimal engineering decisions,
  • use plant material for bio-engineering purposes,
  • apply the principles of safe, economical, environmentally friendly and reliable addressing of erosion problems and soil degradation problems,
  • demonstrate understanding of the principles and fundamental bases of modern biological engineering methods,
  • integrate knowledge from various fields (geomorphology, forestry, civil engineering, economics),
  • practically address complex real-world problems in the fields of erosion, renaturation and recultivation.

Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical exercises and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is graded as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10). 

Students may enrol in a higher year if by the end of the academic year they have met all enrolment requirements defined by the study programme.

Second-cycle master's study programmes (SQF level 8)

In order to complete the programme, students must complete all course units in all subjects in which they have enrolled, for a total of 180 credits.
