Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning (in Dutch)
Perhaps you will develop the landscape of the future with your creative brain. For example, think of a new, healthy living environment for residents of a residential area. Create a new landscape design for sustainable food production. Think about a new environment around rivers that is resistant to climate change. Or focus on converting an old military training area into a wooded area where people and animals can live together.
During your studies you will learn everything about taking into account the wishes of residents, users or other stakeholders (social science side) and nature and animals (the natural science side). On this basis, you form a sustainable connection between ecology, soil, hydrology, cultural history, geography, economy, policy and various stakeholders. Then support your own design with a powerful piece of scientific analysis.
Why this study?
- You will go out during the course and gain inspiration during excursions for your research and designs.
- You will receive targeted training in the world of Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning with scientific knowledge and analyses.
- With this course at WUR you will naturally be concerned with sustainability, the effects of climate change and sustainable food production. So future-proof!

Master’s Landscape Architecture and Planning (in English)
The master Landscape Architecture and Planning is a two-year MSc programme in Wageningen. You can specialize in either landscape architecture or spatial planning. Landscapes form our living environment. Most of the landscapes we live in are the result of our complex interaction with the natural world. Landscape architects and spatial planners who graduate from this master’s understand the challenges we face when shaping and creating the landscapes that form our living environment.
The new generation of landscape architects and spatial planners of Wageningen University and Research understand complex environmental challenges, when shaping and creating the landscape in which we live. The landscape as a complex, socio-ecological system, that asks for an integrative approach to interventions. That is why spatial planning and landscape architecture students work together in this master’s.
Why this master programme?
- Learn to develop sustainable solutions for key landscape challenges such as climate change, energy needs, health, food security and urbanisation.
- Unique in the Netherlands with its interaction between spatial planning and landscape architecture.
- You learn to integrate knowledge from the social and natural sciences and to translate this knowledge into visionary ideas for landscape transformation.
- You will learn to look into spatial problems on a national, regional and local scale and to switch easily between these scales.
