Our courses
Through our theoretical and practical courses we want to enable students from different disciplines dealing with various ecosystem and landscape contexts to identify interactions between goals of biodiversity protection, climate adaptation, agricultural production and human well-being. We aim to provide students the theoretical and practical tools to promote potential synergies and thus to examine and design sustainable, multifunctional landscapes. We use teaching methods such as ‘traditional’ lectures, flipped classrooms and experientail larning, and research-focused project work. In doing so, we emphasize an integrated view of ecological and social dimensions of ecosystems and landscapes, with a strong focus on urban and agricultural systems.
