Održivo regionalno upravljanje (Diplomirani inženjer)

Sustainable regional management deals with the valorisation of rural areas. In times of increasing urbanization, this is of great social and economic importance. In addition to its function as a supplier of raw materials and food, the rural area also serves as a living and recreation area and offers areas for large protected areas.

From the point of view of sustainability, economic as well as ecological and social aspects are considered and deepened using the topics of regional economy, nature conservation and tourism. This involves, for example, the consideration of conflicts of use between those seeking relaxation and sensitive protected areas or the special requirements for the marketing of regional products.

The aim of the Sustainable Regional Management course is to train qualified graduates who recognize the social, ecological and economic potential of rural areas and initiate promising developments. They should be able to give competent advice to regional decision-makers, to recognize possible conflicts at an early stage and to set accents for innovative value creation potential in rural areas.

Our students appreciate the pleasant atmosphere and the personal interaction. The training content of the courses is based on future fields relevant to the labor market. With almost 1200 students, the Rottenburg University of Applied Sciences is a small but future-oriented university with a clear core forestry profile.

In its courses of study, the university develops cross-sector solutions in the areas of forestry, timber management, nature and environmental protection, landscape planning, water management, sustainable regional management and renewable energies. The focus is on the material and energetic use of (forest) biomass, the use of the scarce resource water and international development cooperation.

The aim of all courses is to impart knowledge and skills for a responsible and sustainable use of natural resources. For this future-oriented educational offer, the HFR has received several awards from UNESCO and won the university competition "Profile and Cooperation - Excellence Strategies for Small and Medium-sized Universities" at the Stifterverband der Deutschen Wissenschaft.
