Munich’s huge number of museums, theaters, and publishing houses make it the center of German culture,
but it’s also the German soccer capital and home to three national-league teams!


This six-week course, taught in English, will earn you 5 credits as you examine Munich, a city known for its beautiful and accessible public spaces, as well as Berlin, which is rebuilding—working to integrate East and West while keeping the best of both.

Course Highlights:
You'll develop your own masterpiece, a landscape architecture project for a particular site in Munich.
Discussions with local landscape architects will clue you in to some of the challenges and behind-the-scenes forces that can shape and reshape a project from concept to reality.

  • If you’re a landscape architecture student, you’ve got a great opportunity to watch a city being retooled or even reborn! Our summer program in Munich allows you to study the design principles and practices in both Munich and Berlin. Get the skinny on exactly why Munich has a reputation as a sparkling city. Plus, you’ll be able to say you saw Berlin “back when.” For landscape architects, this is an opportunity not to be missed!


    After exploring Munich’s thriving arts scene and Berlin’s metropolitan jungle, you and your roommate can compare notes in your hotel room. Eat lunch in the university cafeteria, where low student prices keep your wallet full for things like schnitzel at one of the small cafés near the hotel. Of course, you’ll probably discover Munich’s many marketplaces, museums, nightclubs, and biergartens on your own!
