Landscape management and garden construction engineering
Landscape managers and garden construction engineers are qualified to work in the fields of landscape and garden construction, maintenance and operation, and to deal with landscape value protection issues. They must have proper knowledge to improve the quality of the environment. They are also trained to fill positions in the technical departments of municipalities and specialised authorities. Although landscape managers and garden construction engineers are not licensed landscape architects, they can work on small design tasks, like family gardens.
