UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME

FORESTRY AND NATURAL RESOURCE SCIENCE:

The first year of study in Forestry and Natural Resource Sciences consists of one Forestry module plus the first year of study in the Biological Sciences programme in the Faculty of Science.  The second year of study consists of a study of the basic applied sciences such as Soil Science and Biometry, and students start to specialise in forestry disciplines.  An integrated approach is taken with emphasis on Forest Management, Silviculture, Forest Engineering and Forestry Development.

Forestry and Natural Resource Sciences students participate in a week-long practical exposure session during vacations in each of the first three years of study.  In the fourth year students undertake a tour to the summer rainfall regions.  An integral part of this programme consists of the compilation of an extensive management plan or report that must be submitted by all students.
