Thanks to this 100% online program you will specialize in the tools and approaches that promote a transition to sustainability in Urban Landscape Planning and Design” 

The connection between art and nature has become one of the most attractive and demanded approaches (Land-Art) for professionals in Urban Landscape Planning and Design. Although this movement has existed for several years, it has gained momentum nowadays. Especially in a context where societies pay more attention to the construction of green spaces that respect the conservation of the environment and at the same time have creative elements and works of high aesthetic value. To fully manage this new set of techniques, it requires excellent theoretical and practical skills, which guarantee the development of unique solutions that enrich the public’s experience.  

For this reason, TECH Global University has devised this program where students will be able to incorporate all these skills in the fastest and most flexible way. To do so, they will have a very complete syllabus where they will approach different skills for the representation of artistic expression, including freehand technical drawing and the mastery of the latest generation of computer-assisted design software. On the other hand, you will analyze the most efficient methods for the coordination of teams when managing and planning landscape works. Specifically, they will examine the mechanisms to control costs, guarantee safety and quality of the works.  

Additionally, graduates of this Postgraduate diploma will delve into different landscaping styles, their historical evaluation and acquire the necessary knowledge to implement these characteristics in their individual projects. In this way, they will become great specialists in the integration of sustainable landscapes, adapted to the most pressing needs of humans and nature.  

For this academic itinerary, participants will be supported by the unique Relearningmethodology. Through it, they will be able to examine complex concepts and assimilate their daily application in an immediate way. They will also have access to multimedia materials, such as explanatory videos and infographics, through which they will be able to reinforce their learning. At the same time, the program is taught from an innovative 100% online learning platform that is not subject to set schedules or continuous evaluation chronograms.
