Master of
Landscape Architecture, Anhalt University Bernburg
The Master’s Program of Landscape Architecture is taught at the Bernburg Campus which is a unique cam- pus with university and residential buildings. The splen- did Old Town of Bernburg is located directly on the River Saale and green spaces full of herbaceous gardens and plants all around. The Bernburg-Strenzfeld campus offers marvellous study quality and quality of life. It is home to the Agriculture, Ecotrophology and Landsca- ping department (Dept.1) and the Economics department (Dept. 2). Well equipped sports facilities and attractive leisure opportunities offer the perfect counterbalance to academic study. 53 professors look after around 2,700 students. The international two year full-time accre- dited program Master of Landscape Architecture is a design-based professional program aimed at applicants with academic and professional achievements with the potential for professional leadership.
The program benefits from its unique relationship with the Master programs in architecture, nature conser- vation 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 program aims to provide an intellectual base of knowledge in the field of landscape architecture and enable students to evolve sustainable solutions to current landscape architectural challenges.
The Curriculum
The new curriculum conceived in 2014 develops this fo- cus further to emphasize design and the European con- text with current and innovative landscape and urban design of landscape architecture forming highlights of the program. Co-operations with leading universities in landscape architecture in Europe and USA and landsca- pe professionals enable the MLA program to offer re- al-time projects on current issues and extend the base of knowledge of the professional field beyond the aca- demic theories. The Master of Landscape Architecture program at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences leads to an accredited Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Landscape Architecture.

My impression about the MLa course was simply amazing. I gathered a lot of useful knowledge for my career from here. In addition to that, my interna- tional friends from the course brought me so many interesting perspectives and experiences about landscape architecture, which I really appreciate.

I was looking for a new way of thinking and working on projects, and I found it here at MLA, while atten- ding lectures, participating in various discussions, and dealing with a team-work in studio projects.I wanted to get some experience of working in an international environment, to understand people of other cultures, and this program provided it to me. I have been blessed to meet with people with huge talent and abilities to explain complex things in few words. It's all MLA! I am currently working as an architect at the Genplan Institute of Moscow and am involved in a lot of Urban Planning Projects -Liudmila Garaeva, Russia -
I really want to thank Anhalt University, Bernburg and our Professors especially Prof.Nicole.I still remember that the Professors took us through Ex- cursions in different cities to gather knowledge and skills about design, we really enjoyed the process of team work,although that was not easy to accomplis- h.I still remember the tour of Italy where we laughed a lot and at the same time learnt a lot as well. At present, I am teaching at the Hangzhou Vocational and Technical Collage (Architecture and landscape design department) in China.
