Global Forestry is a two-year program with mandatory mobility between at least two partner universities.
Global Forestry offers a truly integrated study programme fully recognised in all the participating countries. When students have acquired 120 ECTS at at least two Consortium institutions (at least 30 ECTS at each) they will obtain a Global Forestry Double Degree and the Diploma Supplement.
1st year
Students get a thorough introduction to forestry’s local and global role in middle and low-income countries during their first year. All students complete their first semester in Copenhagen, where faculty from all partner universities join the teaching activities.
During February, the first year, all students and one teacher from each partner university participate in a joint field course in a middle or low-income country. Then, students move to either Dresden or Padua to complete their first year.
2nd year
For the second year of studies, the students pursue a specialisation in one of the five partner universities:
Choosing mobility track
When you apply for admission to the programme, you are asked to choose your 1. priority and your 2. priority of mobility track/specialisation. These priorities are not binding at the time of application. You must fulfil the Erasmus Mundus Mobility Rules when choosing mobility track/specialisation.
If you are offered admission. you must make your binding choice of mobility tracks/specialisation later:
- Binding choice of 2. semester university: In June before study start
- Binding choice of 2. year university: In October the first year of studies
We strive to assign as many students as possible to their 1. priority in June and in October. However, there is no guarantee that you can get a place at your 1. priorities, because there may be capacity limits for each mobility track.
If you are offered admission, you will get more information on this process when we get closer to the deadlines for choosing mobility track.
