Global Forestry (GLOFOR) is a two-year English language world-class Erasmus Mundus MSc programme that prepares graduates to deal with forestry’s tremendous contemporary challenges and potentials in dealing with the problems of biodiversity protection, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and the development of a circular bio-economy.

The Master’s degree offers a comprehensive, innovative, and international perspective on forest and natural resource management and conservation. The programme provides a thorough understanding of forest ecosystem functioning, skills for sustainable and responsible management of forests and rural landscapes, and the ability to interpret complex socio-ecological systems. It also equips students with the capacity to identify innovative solutions for environmental management, addressing major local and global environmental challenges.

The 2nd Cycle Degree Course (Master Degree) in Environmental and Forest Sciences represents the logical extension of the homonymous 1st Cycle Course (Bachelor Course), Class L25. The main goal of the Course is to provide professional forest graduates with enhanced skills in strategic planning and management and with the technical, cultural, and management instruments necessary to operate in the fields of protection, conservation and monitoring of forest, pastoral and faunal resources, woodland protection from wildfires, soil protection and conservation, territory ecological planning and the establishment of low environmental impact operations aimed at protecting and enhancing mountain and hillslope areas.
