211-442 Forestry Work Experience#

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

Reports of 5000 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.
