Our new master program - Forest Ecology and Sustainable Management - will provide you with a holistic understanding of forest ecosystems, and a broad set of professional and practical skills that are essential to manage our forests sustainably in an ever-changing world. Application period (Swedish students and students within EU/EEA): 15 March 2019-15 April 2019. Application period (international students from outside EU/EEA): 16 October 2018- 15 January 2019.

Education

Here you will find information about our undergraduate courses including master thesis work and possibilities for postgraduate studies at the department.

Research

Our research is organised under seven subject areas where we develop knowledge about forest ecosystems and transfer this knowledge to best management practices.

Environmental monitoring

An important part of our research is based on long-term environmental data collected within SLU's environmental monitoring and assessment program. These long-term data series are important for our understanding of how the boreal ecosystem responds to environmental changes over time.

Research infrastructure

The department has access to and are scientifically responsible for an impressive research infrastructure that is fundamental for much of our research, education and extension work.
