The Global Forestry Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (GLOFOR) is a two-year English language world-class MSc programme that will prepare graduates to deal with forestry’s tremendous contemporary challenges and potentials in medium and low-income countries. A consortium of five universities with extensive experience; University of Copenhagen, Department of Food and Resource Economics (Denmark), Technische Universität, Dresden, Institute of International Forestry and Forest Products, (Germany), the University of Padua, School of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (Italy), The Paris Institute of Technology for Life, Food and Environmental Sciences (AgroParisTech), Montpellier and Kourou Campuses (France), and the Czech University of Life Sciences, Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences, Prague (Czech Republic) offer the programme. Students get a thorough introduction to forestry’s local and global role in middle and low-income countries during their first year. All students will complete their first semester in Copenhagen, where faculty from all partner universities will join the teaching activities. During February, the first year, all students and one teacher from each partner universities participate in a joint field course in a middle or low-income country. Then, students move to either Dresden or Padua to complete their first year. In their second year, students pursue a particular line of specialisation in any one of the five partner universities; Livelihoods and Governance (Copenhagen), Governance and Management and Policy (Dresden), Tropical Forest Ecology (Montpellier/Kourou), Social and Environmental Responsibility (Padua), and Agroforestry Systems (CZU Prague). The expected annual student intake is 40. The teaching staff is very active in research, and students will profit from their global expertise. GLOFOR can readily issue accredited and fully recognised multi-degrees but aims to issue joint degrees. Selection requires a relevant and strong Bachelor’s degree.
