Specialists’ view

NEFU’s Forest Engineering is the earliest characteristic program in China. Among forestry universities, our program is the first to be authorized to confer master’s degrees (1981), Ph.D. degrees (1986), and with a postdoctoral research station (1999). Our program is rated as A++ in the appraisal of national programs for several consecutive years, ranking first nationwide, with leading faculty and academic research achievements ranking top among similar disciplines and enjoying a high reputation worldwide. Prominent experts on Forest Engineering at other forestry universities in China, principal directors of forest industry groups and forestry administrations are mainly graduates of our program.

Our program aims to cultivate highly qualified versatile talents who can engage in the production technology, organization and management of forest engineering in forestry-related enterprises and public institutions; in the plan of forest roads and forest engineering; the design and utilization of forest engineering machinery and equipment with a solid foundation, reasonable knowledge structure, superior ability and a wide range of knowledge so as to meet the social demands of forest engineering personnel. Excellent graduates of our program can be recommended to be postgraduates for master’s degrees or Ph.D.s and outstanding students can be recommended to go abroad for further study.
