The final structure and content of the program will be developed after discussion with each student. Appraisal of their background, previous knowledge and future intentions are to be proposed and approved by the Head of School. The Master degree program, Forestry, consists of a total of 48 units. In full-time mode, coursework and research are normally taken over two consecutive semesters. The research component comprises either 18 or 30 units. At least 30 units must have a SRES prefix with content relevant to forestry.

A summary of postgraduate course offerings at the Fenner School of Environment and Society, by study mode and broad area, can be found here. Students may also take approved courses from elsewhere in the university, in some of the following academic units and programs.

Research

All students must attend relevant seminars and present at least one seminar and comply with any other prescribed conditions.

The choice of research topic under either option is dependent on the availability and agreement of a supervisor. This should be discussed with the Graduate Advisor at an early stage. Each student is to be guided by an appropriate member of the academic staff in the conduct of the research components, and in selecting suitable coursework courses. The Head of School and the Graduate Advisor, in cooperation with the supervisor, will prepare a program of study for each candidate.
