Forest Science & Ecology

The study of forest sciences is interdisciplinary from the start. Ecology, business, law and social sciences are discussed in their complex relationship to forests and forest products.

Studying forest sciences does not only provide competence in questions of forest and natural resource management but also trains skills necessary for leadership in every profession.
