Welcome to your course

Welcome to the National School of Forestry, University of Cumbria. We hope that your chosen course, the Foundation Degree in Forestry, will inspire and challenge you. We aim to provide the support you need and hope that you will enjoy your time with us.

The FdSc Forestry programme has strong links to the forestry industry and is structured to give you the skills in first year to enable you to undertake a placement year, before returning to increase your knowledge in your second, final year.

Many of our foundation degree graduates successfully continue on to the BSc Forestry top-up at the end of their studies. Others gain immediate employment in forestry and a high proportion of these subsequently return to do the BSc forestry top-up by distance learning to increase their understanding and progress in their careers.

Welcome week

Welcome Week has been designed to give you an interesting and enjoyable start to your FdSc Forestry studies. During the week we will explain more about the course and who to speak to if you feel you need any help and support. There will be opportunities to get to know staff, each other and students from other courses. As you would expect we will also have trips away from campus to some of the woodlands in the Lake District National Park.
