Challenging, Professional, Diverse
An excellent program with a level of intensity that pushes one's skills to a professional level. The professors offer a variety of focuses, so that one can concentrate in different scales and contexts from larger regional projects to urban transformation design. The faculty overall is extremely supportive, and when you're really engaged, there is a real wealth of knowledge to be gained from them and their diverse experiences.
Worth noting is the lovely facility itself, with spacious working space that looks out onto the peaceful, vegetation-rich campus. The community is small and welcoming. A great benefit of the program is its international character: one gets to work closely with and get to know students from richly different backgrounds all over the world. It's a special opportunity not only to learn from others' diverse academic and professional backgrounds, but also from their different cultures and perspectives, which is an invaluable tool in a field where one designs for everyone. More than one Erasmus friend wished a second semester was possible in order to get the most of the program. (Also, the mountains are also not far at all, and they are perhaps the best teachers one can find!)
Travel opportunities are also high with project excursions, both in Germany and abroad. In many ways, the cultural diversity one encounters here is really a special aspect of the program.
One critical point is that while the program offers a great degree of freedom in selecting elective course, and therefore shaping the focus of the study to support one's main interest areas in the field, the list of possibilities--courses from not only landscape architecture, but also architecture, planning, and more--quickly becomes a lot smaller than it looks at first; if coordination between departments were better, there might be more opportunities for taking courses which now often overlap with mandatory design project schedules in landscape architecture.
