The MSc-F (thesis-focused master's program) emphasizes research, typically exploring natural biophysical aspects of forest sciences. Students frequently collaborate with faculty supervisors to develop research projects, which may also incorporate social science approaches or interdisciplinary studies combining natural and social sciences.
This research-intensive MScF program equips students with robust scientific investigation skills. While many projects concentrate on biophysical forest science disciplines, social science research methodologies can also be integrated into the curriculum.

An applicant with inadequate academic background or standing may be invited to take four full-course equivalents (minimum) in forestry at the undergraduate level. If performance in these courses averages B or better, the applicant may then apply for admission to one of the graduate program
