In the first year of the degree programme, there are introductory courses in the fields of wood, construction, technology, scientific theory and design. Subsequently, second year students can select one of two main options, either Forest Products Technology or Timber Construction, which are both supported by core lectures and seminars. Furthermore, students learn to work in interdisciplinary projects in various parts of the forest products industry.
From the 5th semester onwards, additional steps are taken to ensure that the undergraduates gain practical experience in a potential field of employment, in the form of an industrial placement/internship.
During their third year they also write their dissertation/BSc thesis. To guarantee a holistic education, the core units are accompanied by lectures in Economics and Business Administration, as well as languages and social skills.
