CAS Vegetation Analysis and Field Botany: Planning and implementation of vegetation-related projects

If you would like to work intensively with vegetation analysis and field botany in the future, the CAS certificate course of the same name is probably ideal for you. Do you have a university degree or comparable training? Do you have sound ecological and botanical knowledge of habitats and species as well as success monitoring and sample planning? If so, then this extra-occupational training course lasting around 18 months could indeed be ideal for you.

 

The course is divided into three modules, the last of which is the CAS final thesis, which consists of a scientific paper on a chosen field of field botany or vegetation analysis and a more in-depth study of the final topic. In modules one and two, the project planning, the sampling design, is dealt with in great detail. This is done with the help of case studies, such as species conservation projects or monitoring renaturation. The VEGEDAZ program is also an important part of the course, as it is used to enter, manage, evaluate and analyze all collected vegetation data. The correct use of GPS and aerial images in monitoring projects, experimental planning and vegetation mapping is the last part of the vegetation analysis module.

 

The identification of sour and sweet grasses and other plants in their flowering and vegetative state, the correct use of plants in engineering biology and renaturation as well as the demarcation and evaluation of vegetation units are all topics covered in the field botany module. All of this content aims to provide participants with all the practical knowledge they need to independently plan and carry out a vegetation-related project, including extensive knowledge of methods, vegetation and flora.

Questions and answers

Mit einem Umfang von 21 Präsenztagen über die Dauer von einem bis zu anderthalb Jahren findet der Zertifikatslehrgang CAS Vegetationsanalyse und Feldbotanik berufsbegleitend statt.

Ein CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) ist ein Weiterbildungsabschluss an einer Hochschule.

  • Dauer: In der Regel 1 Semester berufsbegleitend
  • Titel: "Certificate of Advanced Studies in (Thema)"
  • Anerkennung: Internationale Vergleichbarkeit via ECTS-Punkte
  • ECTS-Punkte (European Credit Transfer System = Internationale Leistungspunkte)

Der Zertifikatslehrgang CAS besteht aus den Modulen „Feldbotanik“, „Vegetationsanalyse“ sowie „CAS-Abschlussarbeit“. Die ersten beiden Module können auch unabhängig von dem Zertifikatslehrgang als Weiterbildung besucht werden, sofern noch freie Plätze verfügbar sind.

Teilnehmende des CAS Vegetationsanalyse und Feldbotanik erlangen umfangreiches Wissen und Know-how in der Projektplanung, der Kartierung und Ansprache von Vegetationseinheiten im Feld, der Verwendung von Luftbildern und GPS zur Vegetations-Kartierung, in der Verwaltung und Auswertung von Vegetationsdaten, sowie in der selbständigen Durchführung von Monitoringprojekten, Vegetationskartierungen und Artenschutzprogrammen.

Ökologisches und botanisches Grundwissen über Arten und Lebensräume werden von den Teilnehmenden des CAS Vegetationsanalyse und Feldbotanik vorausgesetzt.

Der Zertifikatslehrgang CAS Vegetationsanalyse und Feldbotanik ist nicht Teil eines umfassenderen Masterstudiums Master of Advanced Studies MAS, sondern wird unabhängig von einem solchen angeboten.
