You can write your master’s thesis (30 ECTS or 60 ECTS) or bachelor’s thesis (15 ECTS) at the Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre. We can offer you supervision when writing your final thesis in the fields of biology and forest management. The following list outlines the various subjects in which you can do your thesis work, through the staff at our department or within a company. Obviously, you are welcome to explore your own ideas and we would be happy to discuss them and help you find the most suitable supervisor at the department.

We have expertise and supervisors within the fields of:
Can you choose?
It depends! –Program students. From 2018/2019 always Forest Science. But two different codes! See below! For other students – Biology EX0931.
Do you fulfill the prerequisites of 30credits at advanced level/second cycle in a subject? Classification of courses have changed. From Academic year 2016/2017 courses are classified as Biology and Forest Science. Then it most probably is best to do MSc thesis work in Biology or Forest Science respectively.

Before you begin work on your MSc thesis, be sure you are accepted!
The first step is to apply to the MSc thesis program or MSc thesis course.
Yes, it is a bit confusing as MSc thesis work is called a course, but be open-minded and accept that!
The deadline for application is 15 October for the spring term and 15 April for the fall. However, it is possible to make a late application at any time of the year using the link below
You can write MSc thesis at our department in two different subjects, Forest Science and Biology.
The work, to write a thesis, is the same and equal for the two subjects. So why is this important?
First: All program students, EUROFORESTER master program or the national MSc program I forestry "Jägmästarprogrammet" write thesis in Forest Science. Other students, from other faculties at SLU or other universities, are welcome to write a thesis in Biology.
Second; will you be accepted? "Knowledge equivalent to 30 credits at second-cycle level in the main field of study (=biology/forest science....). A Pass grade for the independent project at first-cycle level, or a Bachelor's degree".
