TUM - Technische Universität München

The Master’s Program "Land Management and Land Tenure" is a three semester program. In their first and second semester students take classes at Technische Universität München. During the first semester students are introduced to the basic elements of land management and land tenure. In the second semester students are trained in methods and instruments needed for sustainable land management. The third semester is dedicated to the Master’s Thesis.
The Master’s Program also includes two integrated internships: 

• the first one - taking place between the first and second semester – provides students with the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in the practical work of public and private institutions dealing with land management in Germany. 

• the second one – following the second semester – gives students an opportunity to gain practical experience in a foreign country such as their home country. This internship abroad can be done in projects of international (technical or financial) cooperation where Land Tenure and / or Land Management is looked at from a technical and a political perspective and dealt with at different levels - the local as well as the national. It can also be done in another institution that specifically addresses land management issues. This internship which lasts for 10 weeks should already include field work for the Master’s Thesis.
