Wood needs experts — we train them! The BSc. degree programm in Forest Products Technology and Timber Construction imparts a combination of technical, artistic and economical competences to prepare undergraduates for their future professional life.
They apply their acquired knowledge in interdisciplinary and integrative projects. In addition, students take part in special training courses, such as teamwork and communication skills as well as in-depth social skills courses. English is, of course, a core subject in the whole degree course and a second compulsory language supports the aim of achieving international cooperation both in the academic world and in global industry. Graduates are indeed offered a wide variety of positions and many undergraduates are sure of a post months before they have finished their degree programme.
The degree programme is aimed towards educating students to acquire expert knowledge and the capability of converting this optimally in sophisticated fields of practice, particularly those in which wood is regarded as a sustainable raw material and as a high-performance construction material.
