We have only one earth and we have to take good care of it. This means we need to think about how to arrange our environment. You will learn all about this in the bachelor programme Spatial and Environmental Planning. Do you like to spend time in the outdoors and are you into biology and geography? Then this programme is for you!
About the programme
In the Bachelor’s programme Spatial and Environmental Planning, greenery, design and management coincide, as many elements are involved in developing our living environment. You will need to take landscape, agriculture, nature and people into account, and will be dealing with many different stakeholders, from local authorities and provinces to conservationists and inhabitants. The challenge is to translate all wishes and requirements into one design. Subsequently, you will need to ensure a smooth implementation, with an eye for budgeting and planning. All these processes are dealt with in the study programme.
Admission Requirements
International students can apply for the Dutch-taught programmes if they have completed at least 6 years of secondary school and their diploma is an equivalent of the Dutch HAVO diploma. Once we have received your application, the level of your high school diploma will be evaluated by the International Office and the student advisor of the programme of your choice.
