Welcome to the Master in Sustainable Land Planning

The Master's Programme is a two semester, one-year full time program -or two-year part-time programme-, with 60 credit, 16 courses, designed to train students in the skills needed to succeed as professionals in planning land uses and designing policies and programmes for a sustainable management of land as a resource. Such professionals must be familiar with the theory and practice of analysis of data and information, the assessment, evaluation and planning processes in a variety of settings in the public sector, and in academic research.

The goals of the master are:

  • to train specialists in spatial and land analysis that is the basis for natural resource planning and management, understanding land as a natural, economic and cultural resource, in the various levels of administration,
  • to contribute to the partnership of urban and rural areas, including vulnerable zones such as natural protected areas, mountain and coastal zones, and favouring social and spatial equity and environmental sustainability, and the application of the European Union Strategy stated in the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP).
