The MSc in Global Forestry is an Erasmus Mundus programme at the University of Copenhagen, run by the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management in the Faculty of Science. It prepares students to deal with forestry’s challenges and potential, with a focus on forests in medium- and low-income countries, where deforestation and degradation drive biodiversity loss, threaten livelihoods and contribute an estimated 10 to 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The programme lasts two years and is taught in English, with special admission and application rules. The programme page is brief, and more detail is on the programme website globalforestry.eu.
