Postgraduate Studies

The PhD education at our department covers a range of research areas spanning basic research on fundamental ecosystem processes to applied research within forest management.

About Us

Currently, there are approximately 20 PhD students in the department who are supervised by senior researchers working within a wide range of research areas. Each student has a primary advisor and at least one co-advisor.

Techniques and Resources

As a PhD at the department of forest ecology and management, you will have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and instruments, mentorship by researchers in natural sciences, ecology and the forest sciences, as well as access to PhD courses covering a range of subject areas. 

The education and projects

Within the PhD education at our department, many projects commonly include data gathering through both field- and lab work. At the beginning of the PhD program, students develop their individual study plans together with their supervisors, which is a guide throughout the program. This plan is revised at least once a year.
