Dear coming students,
I'm very sorry for the delays this year! The main reason for this being a bad eye, which forced me into first laser treatment and then surgery, with obligatory staying in bed requirements + sick leave. So - the exact shedule has been delayed - but general plans were of course taken care of earlier, and I believe that this will be a very interesting course where our case study will be centered around the former nuclear energy power plant at Barsebäck and their plans for a green energy transition in the surrounding landscapes. They are very eager to meet you and will also arrange an external presentation of your projects appart from the internal one we have in the course at Campus. A preliminary schedule will be posted latest tomorrow on this web page. We have planned for one excursion in mainly Scania (Nov. 9-10), but also Swedish and international excursions/conferences via Zoom. Most activities will take place at Campus, combined with some special events and some supervision via Zoom.
Wellcome to the course!

English 6 or equivalent.
Objectives
After completion of the course, the student should be able to:
select, motivate and implement those landscape analyses that are relevant prior to planned changes in the landscape
draw up planning documents for different planning stages and describe the activities of different authorities, parties and actors.
describe the consequence of installations for the landscape, e.g. for the natural and cultural environment and for human health, e.g. in form of an Environmental or Social Impact Assessment.
Content
The course deals with large-scale structure at municipal and super-municipal level. The object of the course varies from year to year. Work components comprise advanced landscape analyses, documents for dialogue and consultation according to planning and building regulations and an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Some already completed analyses and planning documents will be problematised and some individual proposals for improvements will be made.
The course comprises lectures, excursions, literature seminars, criticism- reviews (compulsory), supervision exercises in studio (compulsory) and independent studio work.
The course gives 15 skills training credits for students in the Landscape Architecture Programme.
Grading form
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.Formats and requirements for examination
Lecturers will evaluate the quality of compulsory assignments and reports submitted by students, their ability to make oral presentations and their ability to engage each other in critical and analytical discussions. Specifications of compulsory attendance and assignments are given at course start.
If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
