Subject Description

This subject involves practical work experience, or a series of such experiences, with organisations approved by the School of Forestry. Advice on the suitability of different types of work experience, and assistance with finding these, is available from the School. Academic reports will be written on the work experience undertaken, in which students comment on the major tasks performed, discuss the roles of professional forest scientists and managers in relation to those tasks, and demonstrate how those tasks relate to the responsibilities, policies, and objectives of the employing organisations. The course will enable graduates to demonstrate confidence in applying their forestry training to new work challenges.

Assessment

Reports of 1500-3000 words should be submitted after each major experience or group of minor experiences. These reports will be marked to pass level. Degrees are not conferred until the practical work experience requirement is satisfied.
