The UCD Forestry degree provides the scientific knowledge and transferrable skills to ensure our graduates contribute positively to the ongoing expansion of the Irish forestry sector. Forestry students will: – Learn about timber production, renewable energy, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, adaptations for climate change, wildlife management, biodiversity, soil and water protection. – Gain skills in forest planning, remote sensing, the use of geographical information systems and forest modelling. – Develop the capacity for life-long learning which enables them to stay abreast of developments in policy, technology and the sciences. A broad science-based first year is followed by forestry-focused topics in subsequent years. Fourth year is largely project-based and allows students to combine all of their accumulated skills and knowledge, while further developing their ability to communicate effectively.
