Select at most one of the following courses:
Other studies can include study modules or courses from other programmes or courses from other study tracks. Also practical training and language studies can be included in other studies.
In order to successfully pursue Master's studies in the biosphere-atmosphere study track it is recommended that you have studied some bachelor's level studies in Forestry. It is also useful to know basics of fluid phenomena. You can also study them in the beginning of your Master's studies.
