EXPLORE MORE IN FORESTRY
Forestry is concerned with the understanding and sustainable management of forests for the benefit of society. Our research students enjoy access to fantastic facilities for practical work, including plantation forests at our 252-hectare research centre at Henfaes and glass houses, laboratories, a rhizotron, and a natural hardwood forest at our Botanic Garden.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
