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.

Do you want to affect the future of forests, a key natural resource and wellspring of biodiversity? Master in Forest Sciences have you ever wondered why forests are called the lungs of the Earth and how climate change relates to forests? Or how trees are grown and processed into products isustainably and efficiently And how are the economy and forests interrelated?

Data Science is bound to be one of the most important tools for environmental management thanks to its potential to work with complex systems and large amounts of information. The master´s degree enables students to address practical problems in the management of natural resources by applying sound scientific methodologies for their analysis and solution. The master programme also aims at increasing knowledge about ecosystem and natural resource management with tools such as modelling, simulation, machine learning, bioinformatics, geo-statistics and spatial analysis. The professors, engineers and researchers who teach the master are leaders in their field. Students will have the opportunity to do internships in leading companies. This qualification gives access to doctorate studies and it allows for a Double Master with Forestry Engineering.
