Landscape architecture with a German
language 4 year BLA program and an

discipline with high enrolment. By focusing
on the application of new technologies, the
Landscape Architecture Program has
quickly found recognition since its initiation
in 1992.
Demonstration gardens and historic
collections ideally complement the scientific
environment. Further programs in the
department are two programs in agriculture
(in residence and by correspondence), and
undergraduate programs in Nature
Conservancy and Economics and Nutrition,
as well as Master programs in Landscape
Architecture, Food and Agribusiness and
Nature Conservancy. The areas of
landscape technology and plant application
have found ideal conditions for the
development of experimental construction
sites and plant application test plots during
the last years.
