About This Course

This course is accredited by the Institute of Chartered Foresters and gives partial fulfilment of Professional Membership Entry.

Embark on a journey with our MSc in Environmental Forestry, where we unravel the mysteries of the world's forests and dive headfirst into the heart of sustainability challenges. Are you ready to explore the dynamic interplay between trees and forests and the twin climate and biodiversity crises? We will equip you with cutting-edge insights from the forefront of forest science, empowering you to critically evaluate and address the monumental questions shaping our environmental future.

With an emphasis on forest science, this MSc programme will develop your understanding of the natural science of forest ecosystems, the basis of sustainable forest management.

Why choose Bangor University for this course?

Bangor University has been teaching forestry for over 120 years.

Our graduates work in forestry and forest sciences all over the world.

We have close links with forestry and environmental organisations in the UK and overseas, and staff from these organisations make regular contributions to the programme.

Careers

Against a sometimes gloomy economic backdrop, natural resource management, and forest management in particular, is becoming more important, with the result that there is a generally acknowledged skills shortage in the forestry profession. The speed with which our graduates gain employment reflects this. Graduates from this course have progressed on to relevant employment in public sector organisations, NGOs and academic institutions both in the EU and overseas. This MSc course has also formed a stepping stone in post-graduate research and has produced high calibre research scientists in the fields of tree biology, forest science, and natural resource management.
