Mestrado em Arquitetura Paisagística

Welcome to a comprehensive Master's programme that gives you the opportunity to help shape the places in which we live in a way that is sustainable for both humans and the environment. Bringing together landscape architects, landscape engineers, architects, environmental engineers and urban planners from all over the world, this programme attracts students who want to deepen their knowledge of landscapes on the basis of their own specialist skills.

Based at the SLU campus in Alnarp - close to Malmö and Copenhagen and in one of the most vital regions of northern Europe with four universities nearby - the focus of the programme is the planning, design and management of both small-scale urban open space as parks and plazas as well as large-scale regional landscapes. Depending on the desired focus of your studies, you will be able to choose courses from the fields of climate change and urban sustainability, ecosystem services, horticultural design, cultural heritage and process knowledge.

After graduation, and with a Master’s degree in landscape architecture, you will have the skills required for a professional career within the field, possibly as an urban planner, landscape designer or landscape manager The programme also prepares you for PhD studies, if you want to continue to build your academic career.

At SLU, we engage students in some of the most important issues facing the 21st century, such as global warming, the food crisis, and our dependence on non-renewable energy.

The teaching style at SLU promotes critical thinking. As a student, you are expected to question beliefs that are often taken for granted and we also expect you to question what you learn. Debating with classmates and lecturers is accepted and welcomed. SLU’s teaching staff crave academic excellence and are focused on producing a highly employable student body. Communication skills, the ability to work in a team and solve problems, an awareness of the commercial landscape and work experience are just some of the qualities that make our graduates employable.

To strengthen your ability to build a career in an increasingly competitive job market, as a student at SLU you are encouraged to learn through experience.

You study real-life situations, take a hands-on approach to problem-solving, and make valuable contact with the business sector. Lectures, tutorials, laboratory work, fieldwork, group projects, and independent study are just some of the teaching methods used here.

Assessment procedures also vary depending on the course and can include written assignments and examinations, individual and group projects, laboratory reports, and oral presentations. Here at SLU we are committed to developing the internationalization aspect of our syllabus, network, and student experience.
