The Masters programme in Forestry equips graduates with the analytical skills to determine the correlations between forests and other domains, such as natural sciences, technical production, economy and social policy.

Ecology, Social Economy, Production Technologies, and Wood Applications are the four pillars that support most of the Masters in Forestry programmes.
