Forestry production and environment
This course is built on many of the theories that have been described in earlier courses in the program. some of the things you practice within the course : are used earlier acquired knowledge in forest technique and forest biology to create more detailed harvesting plans. Also knowledge in statistics can be applied here practically in field to create object descriptions for forest stands. In the forest biology part, descriptions of different forest ecosystems with specific focus on boreal forests and species knowledge continue. The knowledge is applied for example practically in site index determination. Apart from lectures the course contains travels to highlight the different preconditions for forestry in Sweden’s different country parts and a high grade of vocational training with a large number of compulsory practical exercises in field.

If the student has not passed on a test, examiner has the right to give a supplementary assignment ? if there is cause for it and if it is possible.
If the student has a decision from SLU about particularly educational support due to physical disability has examiner right to give an adapted test or let the student carry out the test in an alternative way.
If this course syllabus is changed or if the course is closed down SLU should determine about transition rules for examination of students who have been admitted according to this course syllabus and still not have passed.
If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Additional information
- The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision applies only the course date that the student has become admitted to and registered on.- If special circumstances apply, the student has the right to participate in the part that requires compulsory attendance at a later course date. Further information is in the rule collection of the education.
- Compulsory travels with over night staying can occur. A certain cost per the over night staying will be taken out of student.
