Our technical education aims to impart high level engineering competences to the students. The most prominent of these is the wood related education, but we strive for the same level of excellence in all our other programs as well.

At present, we offer the following programs to our students:

 

Wood product designer, Wood product manager

In addition to the above, a unique Energy Management Engineering BSc programme is now being established, that will be focused on renewable energy. Our most talented students can also participate in our highest level of education, the PhD programme in the Doctoral School.

 

In addition to education, the Faculty of Wood Sciences is prominent in technology research and innovation as well. These include virtually all areas of wood science, from wood protection and wood processing through wood based materials, woodworking machines, energetics, to wood based construction and product design. Research extends to related areas of physics, mechanics, architecture, pulp- and paper and other areas as well.

 

Our Innovation Centre is responsible for the coordination of our extensive research activity, in cooperation with the lecturers and researchers of the Faculty, to ensure that the substantial amount of industrial and grant-funded research is accomplished in the best possible way. For even more outstanding research, the construction of a central state-of-the-art research laboratory is underway, from government funds.
