Students get a thorough introduction to forestry’s local and global role in middle and low-income countries during their first year. All students complete their first semester in Copenhagen, where faculty from all GloFor Universities join the teaching activities. During February, the first year, all students and one teacher from each GloFor University 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 GloFor Universities.
