Education

Here at our department, we offer undergraduates and postgraduate students an opportunity to gain practical and theoretical knowledge necessary for shaping the future of management in our and the world's forests. 

Through our courses within the Forester program's framework and free-standing courses, you can develop advanced knowledge of research areas from basic process understanding to practical silviculture and forest management.

 

Undergraduate studies

In our undergraduate courses, we teach basic knowledge about forest ecosystems as well as more applied knowledge about forest management.
