Career opportunities

A step in your career

The programme is an important step in your professional career and also the path to international relations. It provides a series of landscape design themes from historic gardens and landscapes to urban open spaces projects and the renewal and reclamation of protected or non-protected areas.

The Programme is offered by the Faculty of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism, Szent István University, the only Hungarian institute with more than a 100-year-history in educating landscape architecture.

Keeping in mind the internationalization of the Programme we invite foreign professors and lecturers on a regular basis. This will also enable our students to become members of professional landscape architects’ networks.

Students will benefit from the project based methodology focusing on the Central European landscape offering a challenge in protection and development of green networks and landscape heritage. Students work individually or in groups of 2-3 on these projects with a regular tutoring provided by the teachers of the Faculty.

The practice you gain in the European/Central European region will make you capable of initiating programmes and projects in your country, as well.
