Description:

Our new MSc Forest Science equips you with the advanced knowledge and skills needed for modern forestry practice. This programme is designed to address the complexities of globalised forestry and meet the increasing demand for timber under competing pressures of biodiversity loss, climate change, and deforestation. The degree offers a blend of academic rigour and practical experience. You will be based in the heart of the Lake District, with direct access to temperate rainforest, landmark woodland habitat restoration and modern silviculture.

This MSc programme would particularly benefit those students with a degree in forestry or a related subject providing a scientific grounding in ecology and the environment. It will provide a scientific grounding that integrates the latest research into looking to trees, woods and forests with cutting-edge technology for modern forestry. It will prepare graduates to thrive in today's dynamic forestry sector.
