Profile
The Sustainable Tropical Forestry Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (SUTROFOR EMJMD) is a two-year world-class programme aimed at preparing qualified graduates to deal with the huge challenges of contemporary tropical forestry. The programme is offered by a five university consortium consisting of the University of Copenhagen, Department of Food and Resource Economics, Copenhagen (Denmark); Bangor University, School of Environment, Natural Resources and Geography, Bangor (UK); Technische Universität Dresden, Institute of International Forestry and Forest Products, Dresden (Germany); the Paris Institute of Technology for Life, Food and Environmental Sciences (AgroParisTech), Montpellier Campus (France), and the University of Padova, School of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Padova (Italy). The SUTROFOR EMJMD consists of a year of study in one of three institutions (Bangor, Copenhagen, Dresden) followed by a second study year at one of the four other institutions. The aim of the first year is to provide a thorough and broad introduction to sustainable tropical forestry. This allows students to choose freely among the five specialisation options in the second year. The first year includes the joint Sustainable Tropical Forestry School including field work in a tropical country. Specialisation options in the second year are agroforestry systems (Bangor), forests and livelihoods in developing countries (Copenhagen), tropical forest management (Dresden), environmental management and policies for tropical forests (Montpellier), or social and environmental responsibility in tropical forestry (Padova). The main language of instruction is English with a French option in Montpellier. Local language courses are available at all the partner institutions. Total student population is expected to be 40 per year, giving a ratio of approximately 2 students to every one faculty member. The teaching staff is very active in research and students profit from their global expertise. The SUTROFOR EMJMD offers an integrated study programme resulting in a double degree that is fully accredited and recognised in all participating countries.
