Forest Science Postgraduate Programme

The Forest Science Postgraduate Programme is coordinated by the SAFCOL Chair in Forest Management. While the program aims to train postgraduate students to be proficient in forest science and management, the emphasis is on environmentally sound and sustainable use and management of forest resources.

The programme has a multidisciplinary approach and is therefore open to students who come from a diversity of backgrounds, ranging from biological and agricultural sciences to even social sciences. There are 2 master's options offered: the traditional master's of Forest Science by research and a new part taught and research MSc Option: Forest Management and the Environment.  Students can also register for a PhD Degree in Forest Science in their chosen area of specialisation.
