The 1-year Master of Forestry (MF) graduate program in the Faculty of Forestry & Environmental Management at UNB will expand on the knowledge and skills you acquired in previous university courses to give you an edge in building a meaningful forestry career. Typically, MF students are largely self-funded, with some research assistance funding provided through the Faculty. You have the option of studying full time or part time.
Throughout the program, you will study forestry at an advanced level through approved course work and by completing and presenting a major research project on a topic you and your supervisors choose. You will have the opportunity to study in a number of areas that are important to the forestry industry including forest management, forest fire and insect management, climate change, wildlife conservation, and innovative wood products. Coursework may be configured to allow you to qualify for RPF (Registered Professional Forester) status.
