The interdisciplinarity of the Bachelor’s programme in “Forestry Engineering” is implemented
through a curriculum organized into integrated modules, where knowledge and competences
from the natural sciences, technical sciences, socio-economic fields, and legal studies are
combined. This principle is evident from the first year and continues throughout the subsequent
years through the integration of biological, ecological, engineering, economic, managerial, and
legal content. It is particularly reflected in the “Interdisciplinary Project” module, as well as in
the professional practice and the diploma thesis, where students apply the knowledge acquired in
profesionale.
