PhD in Landscape Architecture and Urban Ecology

DOCTORAL PROGRAMME IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN ECOLOGY

Presentation

This doctoral program is offered in association by the universities of Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra and seeks to develop the ability to relate art (aesthetics, design and criticism) and science (biological processes, landscape management and planning). It is an international PhD that has been structured for candidates with some experience in the professional practice of landscape design and management or in research in nearby areas of landscape architecture and urban ecology. The PhD is therefore particularly suitable for Masters (or pre-Bologna graduates) in Landscape Architecture, Architecture, Environmental Engineering, Geography, Biology, Forestry and Agronomy.

General information

  • Course coordinator: Doutor Paula Castro (pcastro@ci.uc.pt)

  • Objectives of the course: The PhD in Landscape Architecture and Urban Ecology aims:
    - A post-graduate education leading to the award of the degree of Doctor of "Landscape Architecture and Urban Ecology";
    - The integration of the three universities in the sharing of teaching and research of the doctoral program, a rotation system in which the University is identified annually host;
