Forestry graduate students benefit from instruction by a vibrant, multidisciplinary team of researchers who teach about forests' vital role in supporting global ecosystems and human welfare. Our program emphasizes forest health, long-term sustainability, and the communities that rely on these natural resources. Recognized as a world leader in forestry education and research, we stand out for our comprehensive expertise that enables cross-disciplinary innovation.
UBC Forestry's PhD candidates represent a global network, serving as key ambassadors who reflect our faculty's international research diversity. Typically hosting around 130 doctoral students annually – constituting about 40% of our graduate forestry population – these scholars belong both to the Faculty of Forestry and to one of our three specialized departments, determined by their academic advisor's affiliation.
