Landscape architects design, create, and maintain a wide range of outdoor spaces, from private gardens and urban parks to historic manor parks and large natural recreational areas. They contribute to the quality of public spaces, the preservation of historical heritage, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, integrating natural sciences, art, and engineering knowledge.
A sustainable and creative profession – this is what the Estonian University of Life Sciences, a green university, offers through its bachelor's and master's programs. Students learn to create aesthetic and sustainable solutions using modern technologies, engaging communities, and considering the evolving needs of society. Our graduates are well-prepared to work in both the public and private sectors, shaping a diverse, healthy, and balanced living environment for the future.

EMÜS (abbreviation in Estonian for Estonian Landscape Architecture Student Organization) is a dynamic creative forum for landscape architecture students, where bold ideas take shape and fresh knowledge is put to the test. Here, the future of spatial design is crafted, laying the foundation for environments that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Join us and become part of an inspiring network that connects, motivates, and provides direction—transforming landscape architecture studies from paper to the real world!
