First year at the University of Copenhagen

The aim of the first study year is to provide a thorough and broad introduction to sustainable tropical forestry. There is thus only one common first year programme specification – the learning outcomes are thus similar for the three first year institutions and will allow students to choose freely among the five specialisation options in the second year.
