General entry requirements for first-cycle studies and knowledge corresponding to: - 7.5 credits of Forestry Science - 7.5 credits of Landscape Architecture - English B. As the language of instruction is English, the Swedish language general entry requirement may not apply. The course aims to provide basic understanding of vegetation dynamics, basic insights into design theory, understanding of the factors that influence the design of a forest and basic skills in designing a forest landscape. The course contains case studies, in which the student will practice the different work stages that normally occur during the process of designing a forest planting, as well as taking design considerations into account when processing the planting during subsequent development stages, up to mature forest. This aims to create an understanding of how different aspects, such as timber production and associated economics, aesthetics, biodiversity, recreation and other user aspects, as well as necessary maintenance measures, can all be incorporated into a good overall solution.
