Overview

The Master of Forestry (MF) is a course-based degree program offered as part of a dual-degree partnership with other European and Canadian Universities. We offer two streams for the MF degree: TRANSFOR-M (Transatlantic Forestry Master) or Green Business. This partnership is a unique course-based educational experience, which provides MF students with the opportunity to explore Forestry both in Europe and Canada.

Admitted students register in the MF program at UBC for two years. Within that timeframe, one year is spent in Europe completing degree requirements at the chosen partner institution, and one year is completed at UBC-Vancouver completing MF degree requirements, resulting in the conferral of two separate Master's credentials.

What makes the program unique?

The overreaching aim of the program is to educate the next generation of globally minded forest and environmental managers and scientists on the cultural differences, diverse historical contexts, and differing economic drivers that exist in Canadian and European natural resource management approaches. By drawing on the expertise and opportunities through UBC MF degree and various graduate programs across five forestry schools in Europe, we have been able to develop a graduate program with unparalleled possibilities and experiences for participants. Earning two masters degrees from two world-class forestry schools enhances the opportunities available to graduates.
