Participation in the Master Program of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies

Students of Forest Sciences have the opportunity to participate in the Master's program at Yale for one year. No tuition fees have to be paid for this year. If interested, the student should express his/her interest to Dr. Klaus Pukall one year before the desired stay abroad (i.e. at the beginning of the respective winter semester). Prerequisites for participation in the program are a good command of English (which must be proven by the Toefl Test and the GRE Test) and good academic performance in Germany.
