Dutch Architecture meets Dutch Landscape Architecture

Learn about the historical connection between Dutch architecture and Dutch landscape architecture. And discover how these fields are becoming ever more intertwined in practice today. How can challenges such as climate change, sustainability and green cities lead to new shapes and different materials, inspiring expressions or even give rise to new architectural typologies?

The program in a nutshell

During this exchange program, you’ll be challenged to make a site-specific design. It has to incorporate both building and landscape elements. And it must be a comprehensive design for a location and program of your choice within the municipality of Arnhem.

You’ll visit the highlights of modern projects where both disciplines coincide. Get a hands-on, inside-out experience on location. And discover and learn how to use design tools.

Be part of a mixed group of students from different countries and with different educational backgrounds. They could be studying architecture, landscape architecture or some form of design. Learn from each other.

Dutch way of learning

The atmosphere in a Dutch classroom is quite informal and your lecturers are easy to talk to. In fact, at HAN you’re seen as a partner in the learning process. Class sizes are small and your lecturers encourage you to actively participate in class. To ask questions and give your own opinion. They also stimulate you to be creative and to discover things for yourself.

What about credits and grading?

At HAN we use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, or ECTS. It’s the standard credit system used in higher education across Europe. How does it work? One credit = 28 hours of study. Think of contact hours. Time spent working on assignments. Preparing for exams.

One semester = 30 credits = 840 hours of study. To earn credits, you need to pass your exams. What counts as a pass? A grade of at least 5.5.
