Workshops Preparing the Launch of the “Landscape Architecture under Climate Change” Study Programme

In March 2026, workshops dedicated to the preparation of the double degree master’s programme “Landscape Architecture under Climate Change” were held at the Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University (Department of Landscape Architecture) and at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Warsaw University of Life Sciences (WULS-SGGW) (Department of Landscape Architecture). The meeting took place in the conference room of the Department of Landscape Architecture and marked the first stage of preparations for launching the Double Degree Master Program, jointly implemented by IPB University and the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (WULS-SGGW). The programme is planned to begin in the 2026/2027 academic year.

The event was attended by representatives of the authorities of IPB University as well as academic staff involved in the development of the programme. Participants from the IPB side included Prof. Y. Aris Purwanto, Vice Dean of the Graduate School at IPB University; Dr. Raden Dikky Indrawan, Director for International Education; Puji Mudiana, Director for Career Development, Entrepreneurship and Alumni Relations; Dr. Dyah Retno Panuju, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, Students and Alumni of the Faculty of Agriculture; and Dr. Akhmad Arifin Hadi, Director for Student Affairs at IPB University.
From the WULS-SGGW side, the meeting was attended by Dr. hab. Joanna Dudek-Klimiuk, Head of the Department of Landscape Architecture; Prof. Beata J. Gawryszewska, PhD, DSc, Project Coordinator; and Dr. Eng. Andrzej Brandyk, Vice Dean for Education at the Institute of Environmental Engineering.

During the meetings, Dr. Nurhayati, Head of the Master’s Programme in Landscape Architecture at IPB, and Prof. Beata J. Gawryszewska, presented the concept of the future programme and its teaching structure.

An important part of the workshop was also a discussion on the readiness of teaching infrastructure, curriculum development, and detailed study plans. At the end of the meeting, participants discussed the modernized teaching facilities at both partner universities, including lecture rooms, design studios, and computer laboratories that will support the implementation of the future programme.

The workshops represent an important step in preparing the joint study programme between IPB University and WULS-SGGW and in strengthening international academic cooperation in the field of landscape architecture. The initiative aims to educate specialists capable of designing and managing landscapes in response to global climate challenges.
