Course summary

On this degree, youll study the management of woodlands and forests for commercial, recreation, and conservation. Your course will include modules on silviculture, woodland ecology, forest health, and forest management planning. Practical hands-on experience backs up theory and there will be opportunities to study in a wide range of forest environments, from ancient semi-natural woodland to plantations. In addition, you will have the opportunity to take a one-year work placement in a related profession, bolstering your confidence and putting your knowledge into practice in the real world. Youll be well placed for a career as a professional forest manager both at home and overseas.

Your foundation year will be spent developing your base knowledge and wider understanding of forestry and conservation at Carlisle. After this you will join us at the National School of Forestry in Ambleside.
