The Master of Science (MSc) is a research-oriented graduate program culminating in a thesis. This 24-month curriculum allows students to gain specialized knowledge while enhancing their research capabilities and scientific writing skills, equipping them for PhD programs or careers in governmental and industrial sectors. Prior to submitting an application for the REES MSc program, applicants should carefully examine the admission criteria and degree prerequisites. It's important to note that securing a faculty advisor beforehand is not mandatory. The Forest Economics specialization examines policy frameworks and governance structures within the forestry industry, investigating how institutional systems and ownership models influence timber availability, as well as the distribution and commerce of forest-derived goods and services.
