Erasmus Mundus programme "European Forestry"
Wageningen University cooperates in a joint Erasmus Mundus programme "European Forestry". The programme consists of one year in Europe (coordinated by the University of Joensuu in Finland) and a second year in Wageningen.
The MSc EF provides academic education in forestry focusing on the international dimension of sustainable forest management issues. The programme is an extra dimension to the already existing educational markets in forestry and nature management in Europe. In this programme, European forestry universities collaborate intensively to offer joint courses as well as their existing curricula, based on the knowledge and experience of forest management for which European Forestry was the cradle centuries ago.
The international dimension of the programme is strengthened by the partnership established with the Federal University of Parana in Brazil and Northwest A&F University in China.
The MSc EF programme is open to students and professionals from all countries. Minimum requirements for studying the MSc EF include a good level of English, and a Bachelor's degree or equivalent in forestry, nature management or other related disciplines.
