Content
The course is an introductory course to forestry where the emphasis is placed at the ecological and technological preconditions for persistent using of the natural resource forest. The course takes on the biological side up different ecosystems in the forested landscape and on the technical side the usage of different machine systems and technology for harvesting and further transport. Apart from lectures the course contains a high grade of proficiency training with many compulsory practical exercises in field.
Grading form
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.Formats and requirements for examination

The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
