项目概述 / Program Summary
Forestry is the science, art and practice of managing forests. Forestry in Ireland operates under the paradigm of ‘Sustainable Forest Management’. This requires foresters to seek to achieve a balance across all the productive functions of forests – economic, social and environmental.
The UCD Forestry degree provides the scientific knowledge and transferable skills to ensure graduates contribute positively to the ongoing expansion of the Irish forestry sector.
Forestry students will:
- Learn about managing forest systems for the production of timber, renewable energy, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, adaptations for climate change, wildlife management, biodiversity, soil and water protection.
- Gain skills in forest planning, remote sensing, the use of geographical information systems and forest modelling.
- Develop the capacity for life-long learning that enables them to stay abreast of developments in policy, technology and the sciences that underpin forestry practice.
Forestry students complete four months’ PWE and are encouraged to gain experience in various aspects of forestry both in Ireland and abroad. In third year, a number of forestry students have studied for a trimester in:
- Michigan State University, USA
- University of Vermont, USA
- State University, USA
