The Tropical Forestry degree program serves to train managerial staff to develop knowledge-based, innovative and sustainable management strategies for natural forests, forest plantations and other types of forest as well as agroforestry systems and urban green spaces, including the control of their use and care.

Special attention is dedicated to the flexible adaptation to changing social conditions and the manifold interactions between people and the development of different types of forest on the basis of a multidisciplinary approach.
The two-year degree program comprises a total of 120 ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System), made up of three semesters of on-site learning and one semester for the completion and defense of the Master’s thesis. Elective compulsory modules enable students to develop their own individual profile. The research plan is created with the objective of effectively collecting and analyzing primary data at the end of the third semester and beginning of the fourth semester.
