We combine the teaching of theory in lectures, seminars and tutorials with the application of theory in forest-based practical classes and week-long field courses. The relaxed and informal atmosphere of seminars and tutorials encourages lively debate over current and contentious issues, and there are opportunities to discuss some of these issues with forestry professionals during forest visits. Modules are assessed using a variety of methods involving coursework and examination.
On this course you will study through a range of lectures, tutorials, seminars and fieldwork. Our course allows you to expand your studies into new areas or develop specializations that interest you. Many of our staff are world-leading researchers, so you will be learning at the forefront of research into key global issues. You will be taught by experts through a variety of lectures, seminars, laboratory practicals and fieldwork, all to develop your knowledge, understanding and expertise in your chosen subject.
