Gateway’s Arboriculture/Urban Forestry Technician associate degree provides the hands-on skills and natural resource education for graduates to enter this exciting career field of arborists, urban foresters and related occupations. It offers family-sustaining wages and year-round work with private, corporate or government landowners.

The Bachelor study programme Forestry, specialization in Forest Ecosystems Protection and Silviculture can be studied full-time or part-time. The three-year study provides a comprehensive education in biological, ecological, and technical subjects. The aim is to provide all students with broad theoretical knowledge regarding all the functions of forest ecosystems, their interconnectedness and their importance within 21st-century society. Also, the role of society in the management of natural resources and the use of these natural resources, including the role of forestry in the so-called bioeconomy, with the strong social aspect of sustainable use of forest ecosystems.

Master of Arts in Forestry for Green Sustainable Development. The future forests offer many possibilities. This two-year program gives knowledge about how different strategies and forest management systems can provide forest ecosystem services for society in the future.

Forestry Engineering is a profession that has traditionally worked in multidisciplinary environments in the management and planning of the natural environment. The use and extraction of information from spatial databases has been a traditional task of forestry engineers but the advent of the revolution associated with the so-called "big data" makes it necessary to take a qualitative leap in the training of these professionals. The challenges currently faced by forest management are of great significance due to the magnitude of the problems (climate change, invasive species, biodiversity crisis, etc.) and the growing demand for goods and services by society. At the same time, there is an increasing amount of information, highly relevant for decision-making in forest and environmental management, collected in large databases that require specific training for their management and analysis. For this reason, it is necessary that these professionals have a good integrated knowledge of management systems and methods applied to the forestry world, but at the same time, they have the capacity to work in different fields such as database management, computer programming, data analysis, decision making through operational research techniques, or geographic information systems and remote sensing.

Are you looking for a business education focused on forestry and sustainability? Do you want to explore the vital role of forests, gain expertise in the entire value chain, and open doors to a career in forestry? If so, then this Master’s programme is right for you.
