Sustainable Land Management Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)

Overview

Two specialisations

Students can choose between two subjects:

• The Sustainable Land Management  program at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) zooms in on land management in urbanised areas. You will be trained in the inventory and detailed characterization of land capacity and of soil and water management in an urban context. As a graduate, you will understand urban hydrology and hydraulics, which will enable you to optimize urban land use under different natural and environmental conditions.
• In the Sustainable Land Management program, taught at Ghent University, you will learn to understand how soil water and groundwater develop and evolve, both under natural conditions or following human interference, against the overall background of land. As a graduate, you will have all the knowledge and skills needed to use and manage soil water and groundwater in a sustainable way, and to optimize land use under different natural and environmental conditions.
