Putting Knowledge to Use
Students enrolled in the Land Use and Nature Conservation program learn how to devise and implement solutions for conflicts arising between land use interests and environmental protection concerns. Part of the curriculum includes outdoor field trips and company tours, as well as identifying and counting plants and animals.
The Eberswalde Technical College is the only college to offer this degree program.
Land Use and Nature Conservation
With a long history of training forestry experts, Eberswalde today has more than 1,100 students majoring in the fields of Land Use and Nature Conservation, Forest Management, Timber Processing Technology, Business Administration, and advanced studies in International Forest Ecosystem Management. The Sustainable Land Use-Related Tourism master\'s program focuses on how to organize tourism so that it contributes to sustainable regional development in rural areas.
Shaping Your Own Education
Eberswalde Technical College has two campus grounds. On one campus you'll find the buildings of the forest school. The other campus is located at the edge of the forest. Professors and students enjoy a good rapport with each other and classes are fairly small.
Those thinking of enrolling at the college should be aware that the degree programs are relatively new, and that various aspects of the curriculum are still evolving. While some students might find this frustrating, others will see it as a unique chance to help shape the contents of their studies.
Outlook
Forest management traditionally has a local focus but Eberswalde takes a much broader perspective. Half the students enrolled in “International Forest Ecosystem Management”, an undergraduate degree program, come from abroad. Lectures are held in German or English, and students are also required to learn an additional language. This program is internationally-oriented, and courses are conducted by guest lecturers from abroad who have often worked in the field. During internships and semesters abroad, students have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in the forests of other countries.
