Structure
Students will be required to complete the two core subjects, plus choose three subjects from the compulsory specialisation subject list. Students must also take at least 25 points of subjects from the compulsory capstone subjects – these subjects enable students to complete an independent project related to sustainable forest management. Students must also undertake electives to make up the balance of the award. The selection of electives is made in consultation with the Sustainable Forests major coordinator. A full list of subjects available within this specialisation can be found at http://environment.unimelb.edu.au/courses/streams/sustainable_forests
