ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

The Land Use Planning and Management study programme provides an integrated and scientifically grounded understanding of how land resources are organisedplanned and administered within contemporary territorial development systems. The programme focuses on the interaction between land use, spatial structures and environmental processes, emphasising the importance of sustainable planning principles and evidence-based decision-making. Students acquire knowledge of engineering fundamentals, geospatial data analysis, land management legislation, territorial planning methodologies and landscape assessment techniques. A significant part of the studies is dedicated to developing practical measurement skills: students learn to carry out cadastral, topographic and land management measurements, use modern surveying instruments, and interpret the resulting geospatial data for planning and administrative purposes. The curriculum combines theoretical studies with applied fieldwork and the use of advanced technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, UAV-based surveying and digital mapping tools. Throughout the studies, students learn to analyse territorial patterns, interpret spatial data, prepare land use planning solutions, assess environmental and landscape conditions, and apply legal and methodological requirements relevant to land management and administration. The programme aims to develop specialists who are able to evaluate territorial changes, understand the dynamics of land use, recognise environmental constraints and potentials, and contribute to the formulation of rational, sustainable and well-founded spatial development decisions. 

Graduates of the Land Use Planning and Management study programme become environmental engineering specialists able to integrate into the knowledge society and work in market conditions, prepare land management and land use planning documents, perform cadastral surveys, collect spatial document collections, process, present and use them. Graduates will address the challenges of sustainable land use, management and administration, valuing the natural and cultural heritage and protecting land ownership, management and use rights. They will be proficient in working with geographic information technologies. In their professional activities, graduates will be able to identify, formulate, and solve land use planning issues, adapting to constant and unpredictable changes. They will plan their professional activities in line with set objectives, analyze and document their results, and report to supervisory personnel.

Students have a possibility to: study abroad under the Erasmus+ student mobility programme in higher education institutions of the EU, Norway and Turkey, as well as to perform Erasmus+ traineeships in foreign companies. You can find the full list of LIK partner institutionshere 

Graduates of the Land Use Planning and Management programme have strong career prospects in organisations responsible for territorial development, land administration and spatial data management. They can work on land use planning projects, land management and landscape planning tasks, cadastral and topographic measurements, as well as spatial analysis and mapping. 

Employment opportunities include land management and planning companies, surveying and GIS service providers, municipal and national land administration institutions, spatial planning and environmental consulting agencies, and organisations managing geospatial information systems. Graduates may also establish their own business in land surveying, planning or geospatial services. 

This programme provides a solid and comprehensive foundation for a professional career in land management, spatial planning and geoinformation fields, where qualified specialists are consistently in demand. 

Students are awarded a Professional Bachelor's degree in Engineering upon completion of their studies and successful defense of graduation thesis. Graduates can continue their studies and obtain a master’s degree.
