Overview

With our Forestry for Green Sustainable Development program from Linnaeus University you will have the opportunity to delve into questions about how future sustainable forestry can be developed. The education has a unique thematic approach where you will gain an overall picture and understanding of the forest's entire value chain, from forest production to products and values from the forest, as well as deepening issues related to ecosystem services, the forest's climate mitigation and climate adaptation, the digitization of forestry and forest damage.

Career

After the education, you will be a specialist in the values of the forest and how future sustainable forestry can be developed. There is a great need for labour and competence in the forest's entire value chain, from forest management to the production of more sustainable products from the forest. For example, you can work as a specialist in the forestry industry, as a forestry advisor or an expert for authorities. You can also apply to other industries that need forest experts. The education also opens an international career. With a degree from this education, you are also eligible for a PhD education, pursue a career in academia, and for example, work within the university or at a research institute.
