At Hessen International University, our master’s program addresses the central challenges facing our society: climate change, biodiversity loss, socio-ecological transformations, and health concerns. This program empowers students to engage with these challenges through scientific inquiry, fostering the development of innovative and creative concepts for sustainable and thriving environments in both urban and rural settings.

Participants in this master’s program will critically examine existing ideas while also generating and testing new concepts. Through collaborative efforts across various master’s disciplines, students will work on design proposals, planning strategies, and research-based approaches for shaping future spaces. Graduates of the program are equipped to operate within a societal context, analyzing, envisioning, and designing landscapes and urban open spaces as not only functional but also identity-affirming areas.

Our Master’s program profile is research-oriented, nurturing students’ abilities for scholarly investigation as well as reflective planning and design. A significant objective of this program is the achievement of “chamber eligibility,” a vital credential allowing entry to all professional opportunities within architectural and planning chambers. Over four semesters at Hessen International University, students gain in-depth foundational knowledge, based on current research and practice. Our graduates excel in structural-spatial or strategic-conceptual contexts, applying their design, planning-conceptual, and scientific expertise in intricate interdisciplinary settings.

The program offers four distinct master’s majors, enabling students to tailor their studies to their specific interests and the demands of diverse professional fields. These majors encompass “Landscape Architecture and Open Space Planning,” “Landscape Construction and Plant Use,” “Environmental Planning and Landscape Management,” and “Urban Design.”
