Insights into the Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning study programme
How can we design our landscapes, gardens, parks and open spaces to meet the diverse needs of people, animals and plants? - This question is at the heart of the broad-based study of landscape architecture and environmental planning.
It is about open spaces on both a small and a large scale: from gardens to national parks, from riverside promenades to floodplains. Open spaces fulfil many functions: They are habitats for people, animals and plants, places for meeting, exercise, recreation, areas for food and energy production, flood retention and carbon storage.
The degree programme therefore combines different perspectives and disciplines: ecology and design, functionality and aesthetics, an eye for the big picture as well as for details. The courses offered include natural science, design and technical subjects, e.g. landscape and regional planning, design, ecology and nature conservation, plant ecology, sociology, open space policy, garden monument preservation or vegetation technology.
In addition to lectures, seminars and excursions, the focus of teaching is on practical study projects: Complex planning problems are intensively supervised in small groups using concrete examples.
A prerequisite for the degree programme is a broad interest: Curiosity about places, people, animals, plants and interrelationships in space, the desire to tackle challenges and change spaces, creativity and spatial-analytical thinking as well as an inclination to present ideas visually and to engage in exchange with people.

Pre-Study Internship
You will find all necessary information about your pre-study internship in the internship regulations (see link below).
For recognition of your pre-study internship, please contact the internship office. It is located at Herrenhäuser Str. 2, room D 106 (IUP). You can find offers of internship places on Stud.IP.
The office hours of the Internship Office of the Landscape Division are cancelled until further notice due to Corona.
Questions regarding the recognition of the internship can be sent by e-mail to praktikantenamt@laum.uni-hannover.de.
Of course, the documents can still be sent by mail or dropped into the mailbox "Institut für Umweltplanung/Praktikantenamt Fachgruppe Landschaft" at the main entrance of Herrenhäuser Str. 2.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to have the internship recognized if the documents are only sent digitally by e-mail: We need to see the original certificate of the companies.
For the recognition of the internship we need:
- the current version of the characterization of the internship company or companies (see link below)
- an approx. 3-page internship report, in which the contents of the internship are presented
- a certificate from the company or companies in original AND copy, from which among other things the hours worked can be seen. The original will be returned to you later.
Please be sure to submit your documents only when they are complete!
Please also keep in mind that both the student assistant (Mara Zinnow) and the director of the Internship Office (Ms. Kirsch-Stracke) are currently working more from their home offices and are at the university much less frequently. Therefore, please allow at least 3 weeks for the processing of your documents. Please do not submit your documents when you want to register your bachelor thesis the next day, but as soon as you have completed your internship. Thank you!
For all those who started their studies in WS 2018/19 and after, the regulations "WS 2018/19" apply.
And finally:
Due to time constraints, we have to refrain from personal acknowledgements of receipt of the documents, but will only notify you if they are still incomplete and/or the internship as a whole or in parts cannot be recognized. As soon as the internship has been recognized, the proof will appear in your digital grade report.
