About this program

This two-year, full-time double-degree Master’s program is offered in cooperation with multiple universities abroad. The students will stay one year at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences and choose one of the partnering universities for their second year (e.g. Copperbelt University in Zambia, University of Namibia, Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in Kenya). The program will provide knowledge on topics such as the functioning of managed landscapes (e.g., agroecosystems) in different world regions and skills to implement measures for nature conservation of (partially) managed landscapes. Participants will become skilled for planning conservation and in sustainable land management. The program will enable participants to advise land users and other stakeholders. Thereby, students will be put into the position to apply and further develop tools in assessing and predicting impacts of land management on nature (e.g. field methods, computational models or laboratory methods). Graduates are able to work independently in planning and to implement nature conservation measures in different landscapes, to work scientifically with the aforementioned knowledge and skills and to practically advise land users, especially farmers, in sustainable land management.
