Dig deeper into forest science

As a PhD student you work in close collaboration with senior researchers and other PhD students, and are therefore an important part of our research environment. During your PhD studies at our department you will get the opportunity to dig deeper into one of our four research areas:

  • Forest pathology
  • Silviculture and forest production
  • Conservation ecology and forest history
  • Forest policy and planning
