Universities Admission Requirements
or Abitur (general higher education exam) and - practical training of at least six months. The regular length of the study programme is supposed to be about nine semesters with many students taking one or two semesters more. As in most other programmes the studies are partitioned into the
Grundstudium (basic studies) comprising four semesters of basic natural
sciences and introductions to sylviculture, which are concluded by the
Diplomvorprüfung (mid-examination). The Hauptstudium (main studies)
is divided into two major parts, the Kernstudium (major study) with in
depth courses of ecology, technology, economics and law. The second one
is the Schwerpunktstudium (special study) focusing on subjects opted for
by the student. This part is completed by the final examinations and a
Diplomarbeit (final thesis).
Graduates may also enroll in doctoral programmes. After working for a scientific thesis (Dissertation) for about three years and passing an oral examination (Rigorosum) they get the degree of Doctor of forestry (Dr. forest. in Göttingen; Dr. rer. nat. in Freiburg; Dr. rer. phil. in München). Graduates of forestry may also enter the civil service and complete
the special training course (Referendariat) to fill a senior post in the
state administration after the second state examination.
