SlovenčinaThe Faculty of Forestry (LF) and its focus take a unique position in the system of Slovak higher education. It is the only faculty providing higher education study programmes in the study branches Forestry and Wildlife Management; it is engaged in the scientific research and application of its results in the forestry management practice. The Faculty awards the graduates the Bachelor (Bc.) and Master (Ing.) degrees.
Regarding the focus on science and research, the Faculty draws from the trends in the world forestry science and the graduate profile requirements. The current principal orientation within the research activities of the Faculty is towards the adaptive management of forest ecosystems in the conditions of global changes and uncertainty. Within the scientific research, the Faculty provides PhD study in individual study branches and awards their graduates the title “philosophiae doctor” (PhD.). The Faculty is entitled to award the title Associate Professor and Professor and prepares habilitation procedures and appointing professors in accredited study branches.
The faculty research is in line with the world forestry trends and the graduate profiles requirements with their focus being on the adaptive forest ecosystem management. As part of a research university, it also organizes postgraduate studies and may confer the academic and scientific degree of “Philosophiae doctor“ (Ph.D.) on its graduates.
