The Master of Forest Ecosystem Science
The Master of Forest Ecosystem Science (MFES) is a professional coursework degree designed for forest and environmental sector leaders and managers.
Forests play a diverse and critical role in sustaining human and other biological communities at a local and global scale. Forests provide wildlife habitat and biodiversity conservation, timber production for high-value products, clean water and other ecosystem services — and they play a central role in mitigating rapid climate change. The MFES provides students with the skills that are essential to maintaining and improving forests for these and other values.
Applications for entry to the MFES will be accepted at any time. Mid-year entry is available. Commonwealth Supported Places (HECS-HELP) are available.
Eligible students undertaking the MFES will have access to Centrelink study payments. Master of Forest Ecosystem Science Scholarships & National Forest Masters Scholarships are also available.
Individual subjects in the MFES may be taken for professional development through the Community Access Program
