Course Description
The aims of the programme are to provide expertise relevant to multiple-use forestry. A broad range of modules are available that cover forest ecology and silviculture, forest planning and management, forest conservation, forest pathology and urban forestry and rural development forestry. Programme modules can be selected to serve the interests of professional foresters wanting to upgrade their knowledge in the fields of forest management planning, tropical forestry and environmental issues, or the interests of graduates wishing to obtain a broad introduction to forestry. Our graduates find employment both in Britain and further afield, some within industry, others in government agencies, conservation, development, or research. Teaching uses a range of media: lectures, seminars and discussions, case studies, practical and field exercises. Each student must participate in four modules in each semester, the choice being made following discussion with the programme organiser. Considerable use is made of computers. Students go on a study tour in the Easter vacation; in recent years the study tour has been to forests near Frieberg, Germany.

Standard fees: full-time UK and EU students £3,240 & £1,620 part-time, for the majority of courses 2007/8. Please note that some courses have higher tuition fees and you are advised to check with the particular department.
