Founded in 1457, the University of Freiburg<\/a> is one of the oldest German universities, and is now one of the nation’s leading research and teaching institutions. Forestry is taught in the Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources<\/a>. The foremost research fields of the Faculty concern the interactions between environment and society, especially taking into account aspects of global change. Topics including “sustainable use of resources” and “forests and landscapes” are a central part of research interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural sciences, social sciences, and technical competences serve as a foundation for a wide-ranged, interdisciplinary approach to research and education. As a result, scientific findings provide us with a deeper understanding and transfer into society and political consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSc European Forestry studies at the University of Freiburg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The MSc European Forestry students choose courses from the MSc Forest Sciences\/Forstwissenschaften programme, which offers two majors taught in English: “Forest Ecology Research” and “Future Forests”. Courses generally yield 5 ECTS credits each. While courses in the winter semester are offered on a weekly basis throughout the semester, the modules in the summer are designed as intensive 3-week blocks. A course usually comprises lectures, practicals, tutorials, preparation, reading, independent learning and assessment, and some modules even include field trips, some of which last several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Faculty has a strong network with other academic institutions within Europe and overseas, such as the NFZforestnet, a cooperation between Nancy, Z\u00fcrich and Freiburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
