Doctoral Studies

In Architecture and Landscape, a doctorate can be obtained - depending on the subject area - with the titles Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.), Doctor of Natural Sciences (Dr. rer. nat.) or Doctor of Philosophy (Dr. phil.).   The doctoral studies are regulated in the current doctoral regulations of the faculty. The achievements for the award of the doctoral degree consist of a dissertation and an oral examination. The doctorate is proof of the ability to carry out in-depth independent scientific work. Requirement for admission to the doctorate is a relevant scientific degree. If you would like to join our Faculty of doctoral studies, please contact a professor who is thematically near to your topic as possible supervisor, in order then to submit an exposé. 

Admission as a doctoral student

The Faculty of Architecture and Landscape Sciences sets two dates per semester for the submission of applications for admission.  

Summer term First date: until 01.04.2024 - 12:00 o'clock in the deanery Second date: until Wednesday 01.06.2024 - 12:00 o'clock in the deanery

Winter term First date: until Wednesday 01.10.2024 - 12:00 o'clock in the deanery Second date: until Wednesday 25.11.2024 - 12:00 o'clock in the deanery  

Applications for a doctorate / opening of the procedure:

In general: If no binding dates are given, the application is submitted to the dean's office 4 weeks before the respective faculty council meeting at which the application is to be accepted.

It is pointed out that the deadlines for admission as a doctoral candidate or for the opening of the doctoral procedures are an administrative recommendation and not an order. This recommendation is not mutually legally binding, but rather an administrative procedure which makes the inclusion of the matter on the agenda of the next faculty council meeting highly binding.

European Urban Studies (International Doctorate Programme)

From 2002 until 2020, the IPP for European Urban Studies was counted among the nationwide network of International PhD Programmes, which, within the framework of the programme "Doctorates at Universities in Germany (PHD)", were endorsed by the German Research Foundation and the German Academic Exchange Service. Supported in years 2002 to 2007, the IPP European Urban Studies was the only IPP in Germany that was dedicated to urban research. It dealt with topics that are tested against such current models as the "European City," "Compact City," "Social City," "Net City," or "Zwischenstadt". The International Doctorate Programme “European Urban Studies” was then focusing on research on Urban Housing and Forms of Living with a focus on (multidimensional) housing policy, in the context of current societal challenges – such as climate change, social fragmentation, spatial disparity, cultural differentiation, immigration and the transformation of the real estate economy – and what these challenges imply for the cities of Europe.

Please note: Until further notice, the program is closed. You can find out more about the individual doctoral opportunities in the field of "European Urban Studies" on this homepage .

Kompetenzzentrum Medienanthropologie (KOMA)

Period:  April 2015 bis September 2019

Das aus Mitteln der ProExzellenz-Initiative des Freistaates Thüringen finanzierte Kompetenzzentrum Medienanthropologie soll eine innovative und interdisziplinäre Medienanthropologie vorantreiben, die die Erforschung der Medialität, der Medienbedingtheit und Medienverfasstheit menschlicher Daseinsvollzüge ins Zentrum stellt. Dabei ist das Konzept der Anthropomedialität forschungsleitend. Anthropomedialität beschreibt mit der Verschränkung von Menschen und Medien ein eigenständiges Drittes, das jeder Unterscheidung von Mensch und Medium als deren Ursprung vorausgeht.

Im Rahmen des Forschungsprogramms wurden 10 StipendiatInnen bei der Arbeit an ihrer Promotion unterstützt. Die Arbeit des Kompetenzzentrums mündete erfolgreich in der Beantragung eines DFG-Graduiertenkollegs zum Thema Medienanthropologie , das im April 2020 gestartet ist.

Sprecherin: Prof. Dr. Christiane Voss  (Professur Philosophie audiovisueller Medien) Stellvertretender Sprecher: Prof. Dr. Lorenz Engell (IKKM)

Lumi Kirk presents her Master thesis

Second Nature at the Hippodrome An eco-spatial narrative for a brownfield in Montreal, Qc, Canada In her master's thesis, Lumi Kirk argues the need for a different way of dealing with brownfields: instilling a post-growth and “more-than-human” landscape and subdividing the site into frames that fulfill functions over various time spans that build a nucleus of biodiversity, resiliency, and change. Lumi demonstrates this thesis using the example of the Hippodrome in Montreal, Canada. Guests are most welcome to attend the presentation on Tuesday, 2 July at 14:00 in room E42.

LAT Workshop-Week in Cluj-Napoca, Romania

In the week from May 28 to June 4, 2023 , the Chair for Landscape Architecture and Transformation organized a workshop week in Cluj-Napoca in Romania . The occasion was the Strada Potaissa project organized by the local Daisler Association. The Strada Potaissa project is a project of committed citizens who aim to improve the living conditions in the city of Cluj. In cooperation with the architecture faculty in Cluj, a total of 26 German and Romanian students took part in the workshop week, which was supposed to take up the idea of ​​the Strada Potaissa project in a creative and experimental way at different public places in Cluj. Within the "Stack 'N' Attract" workshop, temporary sculptures made of chairs in Cluj's public space were intended to signal that active participation and transformation of our daily environment can be done hands-on. The installations should arouse people's curiosity and the willingness to talk about their wishes regarding the public space in their neighborhood. Six different locations in Cluj became the scene of the action for over 20 different installations. The week made it clear that an analysis of the relationship between citizens and their own city is necessary and should be a prerequisite for a discussion about public space in Cluj.

Vanessa Baltes presents her Master's Thesis

Duisburg-Rheinort Development of a socially sustainable neighbourhood in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolis

In her master's thesis, Vanesa develops a family-friendly, resilient and future-oriented "Rheinort" neighbourhood. Here, private spaces are to be avoided in order to qualify it as an open, inclusive meeting space in which a solidary and spatially coexistence can take place. Sustainability should be thought of holistically, with a focus on social sustainability.

Supervision: Prof. Dr. Udo Weilacher, Antonia Koukouvelou M.Sc. The presentation will take place on Wednesday, the 26th of April 2023 at 11:00 in room E42. We are looking forward to welcoming interested guests. Please contact Antonia Koukouvelou in case of questions.

The seduction of water . Urban development and update of the narration of inner-city water spaces.

In her dissertation at TUM, Florentine-Amelie Rost explored how the reading of inner-city water spaces had changed over the last twenty years. She investigated the motives behind the increasing development of projects on the water. With her work, architect Rost took part in the academic discourse in the International Doctoral Programme "Research Laboratory Space" (IDK). With her topic at the interface between architecture and landscape architecture, she made a valuable contribution to the framework topic "crossing borders - activating spaces" in the curriculum of the IDK 2017-2020.

Supervisors of the dissertation: Prof. Dr. Udo Weilacher (TUM), Prof. Dr. Michael Koch (HCU Hamburg).

The successful defence of the dissertation took place on Monday 04.07.2022 at 14:00 in Freising-Weihenstephan. Congratulations Amelie!

Concrete Canopy /// Exhibition now!

Within 24 hours, students at the LAT developed concepts for staging a space below the elevated Isarstraße in Freising. Final aim of the course was not a grand overall design, but an effective impulse for the so far abandoned city space.

The inspiring results are on display in the basement of the institute (building 4219) until July 27.

New Book by Marcello Modica on Alpine Industrial Landscapes

We are thrilled to announce that the PhD dissertation at TUM by Marcello Modica , titled “Alpine Industrial Landscapes. Towards a New Approach for Brownfield Redevelopment in Mountain Regions”, is now published in Open Access by Springer Nature Group, in the Series “RaumFragen: Stadt  – Region – Landschaft | SpaceAffairs: City – Region – Landscape”. Congratulations Marcello from Udo Weilacher and your former colleagues, the whole LAT-Team! Open Access (PDF / EPUB) and softcover copies available at https://lnkd.in/efTrRmnR . Brief description : This Open Access book presents a pioneering research on brownfield redevelopment in mountain regions, and specifically in the European Alps. The origins and causes, the actual conditions as well as the future challenges and potentials of mountain brownfields are investigated from an interdisciplinary yet landscape-centered perspective. Through the reasoned combination of research-by-design methods and case-study analysis, the book explores the infrastructural relevance of these sites for the specific mountain territory, while advancing an innovative structuralist-systemic approach for their physical and functional transformation. The book includes, among others, a first transnational geo-mapping of Alpine brownfields, whose impressive outcomes in terms of site numbers and distribution can only confirm the urgency of this research.

Post-Industrial Landscapes in the Greek-Mediterranean context

Antonia Koukouvelou had the opportunity to present her research topic at the 13th Annual International Conference on Urban Studies and Planning which took place in Athens, 30-31 May 2022. Antonia's research focuses on Greek post-industrial landscapes and on the challenge of their possible transformation. Urban and peri-urban brownfield's appearance in the Greek-Mediterranean context is a current phenomenon with strong implications for the landscape. The challenge of transforming these terrain vagues together with their browder context requires new visions and strategies to avoid typical solutions and succeed sustainable and long-lasting solutions.

Presentation Master's Thesis Shihui Liu

Winners selected: competition "Grünes Entrée"

Since the construction of the forestry centre in the 1990s, its grounds have been used as a temporary car park. The Centre Wald-Forst-Holz and our chair now called for proposals for the design of this western entrance to Campus Weihenstephan. A small group of students took on the task and provided a wide range of concepts and ideas.

Lisa Maria Hirschberger impressed the jury with her design " BRÜCKEN.SCHLAGEN " and received the 1st prize worth 1,000 €. Her work convinced with an intelligent answer to the competition goals: it provides space for movement, action and recreation creating a "green" place with a bridge as striking highlight.

Congrats to all prize-winners for their great entries and thanks to the jury and the Centre Wald-Forst-Holz for their collaboration and financial support!

All design proposals are currently exhibited in our studio E42 – come and visit!

Andreas Nütten defends his dissertation

Landscape metropolis . Design of a landscape-based polycentrix city model.

In seiner Dissertation an der TUM nimmt sich Andreas Nütten der Entwicklung eines neuen Stadtmodells an, das den Charakteristika von polyzentrisch strukturierten, wenig dicht besiedelten Metropopregionen zukünftig besser gerecht werden soll als die existierenden, traditionell geprägten Stadtmodelle. Nütten hat seine Forschungsfragen im Rahmen des Internationalen Doktorandenkollegs "Forschungslabor Raum" mit dem Rahmenthema „Entwicklung europäischer Metropolregionen“ (2007-2011) entwickelt und schlägt mit seiner interdisziplinär angelegten Arbeit eine Brücke zwischen den Disziplinen Architektur- Landschaftsarchitektur- Stadt- und Regionalplanung.

Betreuer der Dissertation: Prof. Dr. Michael Koch (HCU Hamburg), Prof. Dr. Udo Weilacher (TUM)

The defence of the dissertation will take place on Februar 14, 2022 at 2 pm (hybrid): live in Freising-Weihenstephan (2G rules apply) und online via Zoom. Please contact the LAT secretary for additional information.

Carina Brandl awarded the bdla-Nachwuchspreis

Für ihre hervorragende Master-Thesis ABHÄNGEN ERLAUBT (?) am LAT wurde Carina Brandl Ende Januar mit dem bdla Nachwuchspreis 2021 ausgezeichnet. In ihrer Arbeit beschäftigt sich Carina Brandl mit einer Nutzergruppe, die im Planungsprozess öffentlicher Freiräume noch immer zu wenig beachtet wird: Jugendliche in der Stadt. Auf über 120 Seiten beleuchtet sie den aktuellen Diskurs zu Jugendgerechtigkeit und Adultismus und untersucht kritisch die tatsächlichen Auswirkungen des nationalen Aktionsplanes für mehr Jugendgerechtigkeit auf die Gestaltung urbaner Parks und Freiflächen in den vergangenen 10 Jahren am Beispiel der Stadt Nürnberg. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse nutzt die Absolventin zur Erstellung eines planerisch-entwerferischen Leitfadens, der zukünftig als Orientierungshilfe für Planer*innen bei der jugendgerechten Planung oder Sanierung öffentlicher Freiräume dienen kann. Carina Brandl beweist durch ihre umfassende, wissenschaftlich fundierte Masterthesis ihre Befähigung zur professionellen, theoriegeleiteten Arbeit in der Landschaftsarchitektur, behält den Bezug zur planerischen Praxis dabei stets im Auge und leistet somit einen relevanten Beitrag für den Dialog auf Augenhöhe zwischen Planer*innen und Jugendlichen.

Wir gratulieren herzlich zu ihrem Erfolg!

Melissa Apolaya: Bridging the Gap ... in Peru

" Bridging the Gap. The walk as an intercultural participatory practice for landscape design " is the title of Melissa Apolaya's master thesis.

The student spent several months in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Cusco, Peru, where an experimental analysis strategy, the "experimental walk" was tested with the Andean community of Patacancha in the district of Ollantaytambo. The aim of her work was to find out, how a better communication between foreign landscape architects and the local inhabitants can be developed for better planning results. This daring experiment did not take a foreseeable course ...

LOST & FOUND exhibition ... now hosted in Weihenstephan

The exhibition LOST & Found was officially opened on the 1st of December, 2021 at the Immatrikulationshalle in TU Munich (Archisstrasse 21) and ended on January 18, 2022. Thank you very much to all visitors of the show! NOW (January 25th 2022) you can visit the "compact" version of the exhibition in Weihenstephan, hosted by LAT.

A lot of people appreciate the Alps as an attractive natural and leisure landscape, but only a few are aware that the Alps are intensively used for industrial purposes , especially through heavy industry. Due to global structural change in industrial production over the last years, hundreds of steel, chemical and concrete industries have been falling into disuse and created complex challenges to neighbouring communities. Is it possible to integrate again the industrial brownfields into the alpine (cultural) landscape in a meaningful way?

In the exhibition hall, the visitors saw the results of the three-year international research project trAILs , which was funded by the Interreg Alpine Space Program of the EU, on the planning approach to disused industrial sites in the Alpine region. Also on display were numerous planning and design projects by students who, in recent years, have been studying at the TUM Chair of Landscape Architecture and Transformation on the sustainable conversion of inner-alpine industrial areas. Formerly thought as lost industrial wastelands, now they find their new purpose and become part of an alpine cultural landscape. Here you'll find the recording of the opening event from December 1st, 2021: video The exhibition teaser is presented here: teaser video

Exchange around the campfire

Within the Bachelor project "Safari traversale" students invited inhabitants, employees and other students, who live around the project area, on the Campus of Weihenstephan to have a casual talk around the campfire. The goal of the meeting was to discuss about the wishes and concerns of all different user groups of the campus. A small group of interested people came to the meeting, defying the low temperatures and explained to the students their perspective about the site which now must be considered in the further development of the campus.

Bachelor- und Master Graduation

We congratulate all our Bachelor and Master graduates who successfully presented their theses in 2019-2020-2021. We wish you all the best for your future!

FROM MUNICH TO SAVANNAH - Presentation Master's Thesis

In her master's thesis "From Munich to Savannah," Vera Donata Wesinger studied the travel descriptions of the Bavarian court gardener Wilhelm Christian Bischoff (1797-1881). Part of her work included transcribing and analyzing the unpublished original manuscripts. She compared her findings with the theses of the American landscape gardener Andrew Jackson Downing (1815 - 1852) to show differences in the European and American perception of the American landscape. In addition, the travel reports provide interesting insightes on the wide-ranging horizon of Bischoff. The work was done in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Iris Lauterbach of the Central Institute of Art History in Munich.

We look forward to her online presentation on Monday, September 13, 2021 at 11 AM and invite interested parties to attend! If you are interested, please contact Martin Augenstein (augenstein[at]lai.ar.tum.de).

THE SHOPPING OUTLET. Presentation Master's Thesis

We cordially invite to her online presentation on Wednesday July 28, 2021 at 11 am. If interested, please contact Martin Augenstein (augenstein[at]lai.ar.tum.de).

Doctor's thesis by Marcello Modica

On July 9th 2021, Marcello Modica defended his doctor's thesis entitled “ALPINE INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPES. Towards a new approach for brownfield redevelopment in mountain regions” . The research started in 2017 at the TUM Chair of Landscape Architecture and Industrial Landscapes and focused on the emerging planning challenge of transforming and redeveloping industrial brownfield sites in the Alpine region. By assuming an holistic landscape approach, and strongly relying on fieldwork and research-by-design, the dissertation provides a first, grounded interpretation of this complex spatial phenomena, as well as an operative methodology to address it.

Supervisor 1: Prof. Dr. Udo Weilacher (TU Munich) Supervisor 2: Prof. Dr. Siedentop (TU Dortmund) Chair of examination board: Prof. Dr. Schoebel-Rutschmann (TU Munich)

Congratulations Marcello and all the best for the future!

Final presentations of the Master studio SS 2021

The interdisciplinary master studio ‘Waiting lands lab’ came to an end on Tuesday 13 th of July. Four Labs presented their work and proposed strategies to activate the ‘waiting lands’ of the newly founded campus of Nuremberg. All labs focused on social, economic, ecological and climate aspects and tried to find ways to create a smooth and sustainable transition from a ‘no-use’ land to a fully functioning and lively space.

All four projects are exhibited in our chair for a short time (room E42). We warmly invite you to have a look and study this different way of dealing with a constantly changing site. E-community strategies, productive lands, sense of belonging, interaction, sustainability and production were some of the themes that students tackled on.

Congratulations to all students for their work!

Mountains in the Making

The preparations for the final exhibition of the trAILs research project next year in the Immatrikulationshalle at TUM City Campus have started. The LAI team spent two busy days in the model workshop, finishing the first mountain modules for the “Alpine invasion”.

Interview with Professor Dr. Thomas Hofmann - President of TUM

After 150 days in office, the President of TUM, Professor Dr. Thomas Hofmann answered to questions by Professor Dr. Udo Weilacher, who interviewed him for the new edition " nodium " at the Chair for Landscape Architecture and Industrial Landscape. The President reacted very openly on questions about the future importance of landscape architecture and planning at TUM and described the balance he sees as trend-setting between specialization and cross-sectional orientation in research and teaching. The conception of the new TUM Schools was discussed as well as the necessary paradigm shift in science in view of the experience that the one-sided technological access to the complex-dynamic system Earth turns out to be extremely problematic. President Hofmann, who was a guest in the Weihenstephan "Landscape Building" for the first time, was particularly impressed by the cross-sectional design methodology and the complex results of the project study in the course of a tour through the exhibited semester works by Landscape architecture students: "Project studies will be a key element in the reform of teaching." The full interview will be available in the new issue of "nodium", the magazine of the Alumni Club Landschape of the TU Munich, which will be published at the end of April 2020. Further information can be found on the homepage of the Alumni Club Landschaft at the TU Munich: www.acl.wzw.tum.de

Xiya Sun Thesis presentation: From Urban Void to Urban Catalyst

With an application of phenomenal transparency Charleroi’s territory in Belgium is widely known for its industrial mining history and the outdated image of Le Pays Noir. Different waves of transformation resulted into the surreal landscape in which industrial land, urban tissue and green-blue elements are constantly mixed. The thesis refers to the theory “phenomenal transparency” as a supplement for analysis and design for landscape architecture design to evoke new spatial territories that improve our sensory experiences and respond to the temporal quality of the landscape.

Dissertation of Dr. Sonia Gantioler published

The Right to Ecological Space in the City Operationalising Green Infrastructure as Strategic Urban Planning Concept for a Just Access With Lessons Learnt from Vienna and Munich

On december 16th the doctoral thesis of Dr. Sonia Gantioler was published by tum university press and is now available as print via Hugendubel or Lehmanns Increasing socio-economic inequalities, biodiversity loss and urban transformations potentially aggravate spatial disparities within cities and favour unequal access to nature, with adverse effects on the quality of life of their inhabitants. The thesis develops a conceptual and action model for the strategic planning of 'Green Infrastructure' (GI), which aims at a just access to ecological space in the city. The model forms the basis of an analysis carried out in Vienna and Munich, and indicates potential interventions at two levels: First taking into due consideration GI integration before development takes place and a renewed discussion on basic needs and urban green area qualities with regard to GI?s physical shaping. Second the importance of developing adequate governance capabilities, particularly in relation to property entitlements and political, economic and articulation powers.

Christmas Lecture by Professor emeritus Peter Latz

Professor emeritus Peter Latz has decisively influenced the contemporary landscape architecture by the transformation and cultural valorisation of post-industrial landscapes. But he is firmly convinced that not everything has to be reinvented, but reinterpreted and the historical repertoire and knowledge of garden history are decisive for this, for otherwise "you only risk reinventing the wheel, and in the end you even believe you've created something new.”

Peter Latz sees many connections between modern times and the Renaissance: A time of social upheaval and technological progress, which also affects garden architecture. In his lecture on 20 December, Peter Latz will deal with these influences and connections.

20th December 2019, 15:00 am Room U3, Emil-Ramann Str. 6, 85354 Freising Lecture is open to join!

Xiaozhen Li Master Thesis presentation: Breaking the Island

Application of Structuralism to the example of the former oil harbour in Karlskrona The naval city of Karlskrona, located in Sweden’s southernmost archipelago, plays a vital role throughout Swedish history. Based on the Structuralism approach, Li Xiaozhen abstracted three significant layers: land morphology, the ocean, and the city center. The additional industrial layer breaks this original structural relationships and leading to its unintelligibility. The Master Thesis investigates with landscape architecture design, how the relationships could be reestablished  to regain the identity for both the site and the city.

think open spaces properly - in the Munich Region

The LAI supported this year's 5th Regional Housing Conference of the Munich Region on Nov 12th. Jonas Bellingrodt was invited as an expert at the roundtable discussion “think open spaces properly" to give relevant impulses based on best practice examples. For the first time, the subject of open space development, in addition to the topics "Investing in Mobility" and " Commitment in housing construction" with all relevant institutions from politics, administration and economy, was explored and the importance underlined. The demand that open space and landscape development as an identity generator and as requirement for a high standard of living, especially in times of climate change, should go first for other planning options has been adressed.

Results of the student competition Bründl-Park Puchheim

Eight drafts for the Bründl-Park in Puchheim were submitted to the LAI in the summer term 2019.

trAILs meeting in Eisenerz/A

On January 24th-25th the whole  trAILs  team met in Leoben-Eisenerz for the first site visit to the Austrian pilot site.

On the first day, we reached Eisenerz and explored the former blast furnace site Münichtal with the support of local stakeholders (site owners and Mayor of Eisenerz). Many useful informations and insights about the site conditions and the development challenges in the region were gained. Some project partners already performed some on-site activities, such as UniVerona, whose team recorded and filmed interviews with local stakeholders and representatives of the community.

On the second day we had an indoor meeting at the Kunsthalle Leoben. In the first session, scientific partners presented their approaches and methods for the site assessment (WP T2), while in the second session we had a small workshop in which we explored together the connections between the proposed methods and assessed, with the help of regional partners, their relevance and feasibility. The first communication materials such as posters and flyers were also presented and distributed to everybody for own promotional activities.

International Doctoral College - Flying Visit Marokko

Casablanca a metropolitan area with 6 million inhabitants was the destination of the research trip of the Doktoral College Spatial research lab. Led by Undine Giseke TU Berlin, the doctoral students have maped the cycles of foodproduction and consumption in the urban rural nexus of the North African economic engine. Under the City without Slums program, informal settlements are being replaced by new housing developments. As a result, the city is rapidly spreads in into the highly productive agricultural belt of the surrounding area. How the integration of an urban agriculture can be successful was an integral topic of the trip.

2018 International Conference on Designed Ecologies in China

Fuzhou University, Peking University and University of Copenhagen are organizing an international conference on the relationship between design and ecology in Fuzhou/ China 15th to 17th of November 2018 . Invited by Professor Dr. Kongian Yu , Udo Weilacher will present a key lecture.

With increasing sustainable challenges worldwide, landscape practices need to pay more understanding of the functions and values of complex eco-system while further perfecting the relationships between design praxis and scientific research of ecology. The idea of “Design with Nature” proposed by McHarg is fundamentally important though it executed design as a process to follow nature passively. In fact, design practice can work as an active catalyst for solutions to environmental disruption and degradation. “Designed ecologies” refers to all active planning/design intentions to purposely prevent, mitigate and resolve ecological issues for sustainability. In this context, we make the announcement of “2018 International Conference on Designed Ecologies”.

At the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning it is possible to gain a doctoral degree in engineering (Dr.-Ing.).

Architects and urban planners tend to be a rare commodity because – unlike many other academic disciplines – proof of an academic qualification in the form of a doctoral degree is not a prerequisite for a successful career in architecture or urban planning. There are thus comparatively few doctoral researchers at our Faculty. However, interest in doctoral degree studies has grown over the past few years.

In scarcely any other subject is the spectrum of dissertation topics as broad as in architecture and urban planning. Likewise, the diversity across the Faculty's institutes is reflected in the broad spectrum of research topics and methodology of our research. There are dissertations in engineering which experimentally address issues related to building physics and structural design; dissertations on history of art and architecture which study historic buildings, architectural styles, construction techniques or master builders or matters of monument protection; and dissertations investigating architectural and planning theory , architectural sociology, building economics, building, urban and landscape ecology, design and planning methods, building studies and urban and landscape planning .

The doctoral procedure is set out in the current  Doctoral degree regulations   of the University of Stuttgart. Doctoral studies at our Faculty are also open to applicants with a university degree in a subject other than architecture and urban planning provided their chosen topic is relevant and supervised by a member of the Faculty's teaching staff. Past doctoral researchers have included civil engineers, geographers, art historians and biologists.

Non-German applicants must prove beforehand that the university degree from their home country is regarded as equivalent to that of a German university.

• Current projects
• Excellence cluster IntCDC
• E1ns zu E1ns

If you wish to enroll as a doctoral researcher, you should discuss your chosen topic with a member of the Faculty teaching staff who specializes in a field relevant to your planned area of research. You will finalize the topic of your doctoral study with your prospective supervisor and submit an application for acceptance to the Faculty as a doctoral researcher . Decisions on matters related to doctoral studies are taken by the  doctoral committee .

So far the Faculty has only admitted individual doctoral researchers and has not yet set up a research training group or graduate schools. Some institutes organize regular Doktorandenkolloquien at which doctoral researchers can present, report and discuss the progress of their work. In 2004 the Faculty introduced cross-institute discussion forums specifically for doctoral researchers whose dissertation topics are related to urban development and urban planning ( Doktorandenkolloquium Stadt ).

The participating institutes are the  Institute of Urban Planning and Design , the  Institute for Housing and Design , the   Institute of Architectural History  and the  Institute of Spatial and Regional Planning  (Faculty 2).

15 March for the following winter semester

The international two-year full-time accredited Master of Landscape Architecture programme is a design-based professional programme designed for applicants with academic and professional achievements with the potential for professional leadership. The programme benefits from its unique relationship with the Master's programmes in architecture, nature conservation and other related fields at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, as well as with the world-famous "Bauhaus" - a revolutionary movement in architecture, art, and design.

Since its conception in 1998, the Master of Landscape Architecture programme has aimed to provide an intellectual base of knowledge in the field of landscape architecture and to enable students to create sustainable solutions to current landscape architectural challenges. The new curriculum conceived in 2014 develops this focus further to emphasise design and the European context. Current and innovative landscape and urban design of landscape architecture constitute highlights of the programme.

Co-operations with other leading universities in landscape architecture and with landscape professionals enable the MLA programme to offer real-time projects on current issues in Germany, Europe and abroad to extend the base of knowledge of the professional field beyond academic theories.

The MLA programme is designed to impart knowledge and skills which are essential for landscape professionals - as an educator, researcher and/or practitioner. The major emphasis on design and the underlying emphasis on the European context pervade the various modules in the programme. Competencies in the use of multi-media as well as soft skills equip the students to face developments and challenges in the field of landscape architecture.

The standard period of study including the examination period is four semesters. The programme always begins in the winter semester at the beginning of October.

The course of study includes theoretical and practice-oriented courses in the form of modular lectures and a Master's thesis to be completed within 20 weeks and, finally, defended in a colloquium.

The first and second semesters provide an intensive programme of study encompassing the following modules:

First Semester:

• Atelier Urban Design

Evidence of qualification for the study course must be provided in accordance with the Higher Education Act of the State of Saxony-Anhalt.

The admission requirement is the presentation of one of the national or international university degrees Diploma, Magister, Baccalaureus, Master's or Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture with a duration of at least three years of regular study.

Applicants with a university degree according to aforementioned criteria in architecture, urban and regional planning as well as in a related course of study may be admitted. As a basis for admission, an aptitude test is held in which the final grade achieved in the previous course of study and the quality of the design work to be submitted will be considered.

For this purpose, a design portfolio has to be submitted. This design portfolio must include five works designed by the candidate. If the candidate has previous work experience, two of these design works should be based on his or her occupational experience.

The MLA offers online-courses to get the necessary credits if applicants lack the required knowledge in Landscape Architecture.

The candidate's proficiency in spoken and written English is a condition for admission. Such proficiency has to be proven if the presented final certificate was not acquired from an English-speaking college or university. In this case, TOEFL test results of at least 85 from 120 (iBT, Internet-based test) and 6.5 from 9 (IELTS) will be the standard. Alternatively, proof of proficiency can be provided by adequate language certificates in conjunction with an assessment test held by Anhalt University of Applied Sciences.

Doctoral Programme in Landscape and Urban Studies

The doctoral programme at the ETH Zurich Department of Architecture’s Institute of Landscape and Urban Studies (LUS) offers one fellowship position starting on 1 October 2024. 100%, Zurich-based, fixed-term. Job description

The LUS Doctoral Programme

The doctoral programme at the Institute of Landscape and Urban Studies (LUS), ETH Zurich D-ARCH, is dedicated to exploring contemporary challenges in urban and environmental transformation within broader socio-cultural, political-economic, and theoretical frameworks. This programme is designed to foster critical discourse and nurture independent, innovative, and proactive research that addresses pressing social and environmental issues.

The LUS Institute engages with the production of landscape, territory, and human settlements across various scales and diverse global geographies. Key research areas include landscape and designed ecologies, energy transition, agroecology, hydrology, regenerative agriculture, adaptive infrastructures, housing, and socio-economic development with a focus on urban inequality. Geographically, the LUS Institute’s research spans Switzerland, Europe, and the broader global South.

By bringing together disciplines such as architecture, landscape architecture, urban and territorial design, and planning, as well as the social sciences, the doctoral programme at the LUS Institute adopts an inter- and transdisciplinary approach. This approach encompasses a diverse range of methodological approaches, from qualitative and quantitative research to ethnography, critical cartography, design-based action research, systems research, and urban theory.

About the Programme

The doctoral programme is conducted in English. With a current enrollment of over 25 participants, the LUS doctoral programme encourages both individual research and collaborative engagement within the doctoral community. The programme offers multiple platforms for interaction, such as the LUS methods seminar, institute-wide colloquia, workshops, and doctoral reviews. Embedded in the vibrant doctoral education environment of the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich, the LUS doctoral programme actively collaborates with the doctoral programme at the Institute of History and Theory of Architecture (gta) , ETH Zurich. This collaboration enhances interdisciplinary perspectives and provides enriched research opportunities.

Landscape Architecture and Landscape Planning (Master)

This page contains automatically translated content.

Central challenges of our society are climate change, the decline of biodiversity, socio-ecological transformations and health. Those who choose this master's program will scientifically address these challenges and develop creative and innovative concepts for a sustainable and livable environment in urban and rural areas. Existing ideas will be critically questioned and thought through further, and new ideas will be tested and discussed. In the process, we work in various master's degrees on design drafts, planning concepts and scientifically based strategies for future spaces. Master's graduates act in a social context: they analyze, develop and design landscapes and urban open spaces as functional and identification spaces. The profile of the Master's program is research-oriented and qualifies students for scientific work as well as for reflective planning and design. An important goal of this degree is the attainment of the so-called "chamber eligibility", because only members of the chambers of architects and planners have access to all possibilities of the profession. Based on current issues from research and practice, in-depth basic knowledge is taught in four semesters at the University of Kassel. Graduates work in a structural-spatial or strategic-conceptual context. They apply their design, planning-conceptual and scientific knowledge and skills in complex and interdisciplinary contexts. Four master's majors contribute to an individual study profile and help orient students to the requirements of different professional fields. Students can specialize in "Landscape Architecture and Open Space Planning", "Landscape Construction and Plant Use", "Environmental Planning and Landscape Management" and "Urban Design".

Christina Papadopoulou was born in Athens and graduated from the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Thessaly in Greece in 2013. She has worked in several international studios in Athens, London and Berlin, including 314 architecture studio, Divercity Architects, Mila Gesellschaft von Architekten mbH, gmp Architekten. She has been a member of the Berlin Chamber of Architects since 2021. She is a PhD candidate at the Department of Architectural Theory, Institute of Architecture, TU Berlin, where she is writing her dissertation under the supervision of Professor Jörg Gleiter. Her research examines the urban constellations of disturbance on the island of Syros and their transformation in the context of a humanitarian crisis as well as specific factors such as globalisation, climate change and state strategies for dealing with urbanity that are currently transforming our society. The history of the capital of the Cyclades, Syros, goes back at least 5,000 years, to the early Bronze Age of Cycladic civilisation, and entails a high degree of individuality of the inhabitants as well as very specific environmental conditions that have led to typological homogeneity. The search for a collective identity explores the notion of tourism as an evolutionary urban and communal impulse in this context of investigation. In 2022, Christina began her dissertation, which she is working on alongside her professional work as a senior architect in the office of gmp Architekten in Berlin.

Working title of the dissertation: "Tourism as impulse of urban and social transformation subtitle: Local frames of a global phenomenon".
