Organized in cooperation with the Forest Ecology and Management Program at the distinguished Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Frieburg, the program offers English-taught courses taken alongside German and international students. Courses are organized as a series of three-week modules that focus on the sustainable management of natural resources, with a special emphasis on the adaptive management of forests. Additional topics include ecological processes in ecosystems and human effects on the environment. Post-program research assistantships and extensive field study trips to the Swiss Alps, the Rhine River Valley, and the Black Forest give you hands-on experience.

You will also participate in German language courses at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced level taught at the Sprachlehrinstitut of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freiburg. Less
