Overview

Deforestation and forest degradation in the Global South cause massive biodiversity loss, undermine millions of people's livelihoods, and account for 10-15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Indeed, a green and equitable global economy will not be possible unless forests in medium and low-income countries come under sustainable use and protection. The Global Forestry (GLOFOR) MSc programme from the University of Copenhagen qualifies you to promote this goal.

Gain competencies

Through an outstanding, research based education, graduates will gain the required competencies for working with global forestry issues:

a firm theoretical foundation
practical and international experience
openness to foreign cultures.

These are all competencies needed for working as a researcher or in tropical forest practice, e.g. with a development agency, consultancy company, NGO, international organisation, ministry, or governmental agency. Successful students will also be able to apply to high-level international PhD programmes.
