Education

Last changed: 04 February 2020

At the department we teach undergraduate students, educate and train postgraduate students, and offer postdoc positions within our many research subject areas. Research areas range from basic process understanding to practical silviculture and forest management. Most of our research deals with the boreal forest, however we also do research in the temperate and tropical forests of the world.

Education att all levels is based on ongoing research within the seven subject areas the department is responsible for. These are: 

  • Silviculture
  • Forest soils
  • Forest landscape biogeochemistry
  • Forest vegetation ecology
  • Forest ecophysiology
  • Forest regeneration
  • Forest history 

Master's programme

If you are interested in Forest Ecology and Sustainable Management? Our Department’s advanced degree programme leads to a MSc in Forest Science or Biology.

Undergraduate studies

We offer undergraduate courses giving basic knowledge about forest ecosystems as well as more applied knowledge about forest management.

Postgraduate studies

A major share of the research at the department is conducted by postgraduate students. Maybe this is something for you?
