About this programme

What competencies does the graduate have? The student will achieve an extensive knowledge in forestry, which highlights sustainable planning, caring and utilization of forest resources. They will familiarize themselves with different factors affecting climate change and biodiversity, the economic significance of forests and how to move in forests and other grounds. They’ll also learn how to use different applications and open data in their future profession. The student can choose to deepen their knowledge for example in challenges and conflicts in the forestry sector, wood processing in future forest environments and projects working on changing topical issues. What kind of learning methods are used in the programme? Studying happens both independently and in teams with other students. The aim is to spend less time inside the classroom and more outside, in the forest. For example, a lecturer can give the student a task in the classroom, and after the student will go into the demonstration forest with other students to work on that task. Practical learning in nature goes on throughout the year, but as seasons change the amount of time spent in nature is modified. This means that in the winter when there is snow in the ground, students spend less time outdoors. What kind of career opportunities does the graduate have? Most common work tasks in the field are among wood procurement, forest services, and planning or management of forest resources. Your work title could be for example forest expert, procurement supervisor, senior planning officer or forest entrepreneur.
