Courses and placements

Joint core courses are offered twice a year to bring students enrolled at different partner institutions together. In 2009, the Australian joint course will be offered from February 9–20, and will include a field course. The Asia-Pacific joint course is planned for 23 November - 4 December.

A range of additional, intensive partnership courses are offered in a coordinated schedule during the winter break and second semester (June through October). Students must enrol in at least one partnership course. Planned partnership courses and their timing for:

2010 Joint Courses

  • Australian Forests Joint subject (7th - 19th Feb)
  • Asia-Pacific Joint Course: Forestry in our Region
    This course comprises 14 days (including travel) in two components. The first component will draw from regional forestry organisations and experts, to set the context for forestry and forest policy in the region. The second component highlights how forest management is undertaken within a social, economic and environmental context and includes visits to smallholders, local communities, industry and government agencies involved in forest management. The social and political context of forest management is highlighted, along with the development of national level policy and the implementation issues of this policy at a local level.

We are also developing other partnership courses; check this website for updates.

Each host institution has a different set of core courses for students enrolled with them, as well as elective options, based on local expertise. An indicative comparison of available courses can be viewed here, and more program-specific detail found at the following sites:

Students may also undertake an industry placement facilitated by their host university. Masters students will usually also undertake a research project supervised by academic staff at the host university, so the local expertise at each university is relevant to the choice of host university for Masters students. You can get an overview of each university's research foci here, or in more detail at their individual websites (see above).
