The diversity and international context of the programme appeal to Lisa

Lisa, student at The master's programme Forestry for Green Sustainable Development

For Lisa, it is important to stay up to date with current knowledge in the field of sustainability. Twenty years ago, she earned her Master of Science in Engineering from Chalmers, and ten years later, she completed a master's degree in environmental psychology. Now she is broadening her expertise by studying the master's programme Forestry for Green Sustainable Development.

“I work as a sustainability consultant in the property sector and the built urban environment. However, I have my own “master's tradition”, where I pursue a new master's degree every ten years. So, it was time for me to start studying again.”

Lisa explains that questions about sustainability in forestry have increased in recent years, which led her to seek a broader knowledge base in the field. Something Lisa particularly appreciates about the programme is its international context, both among the students and the lecturers.

“About a week ago, we learned about how date palms in the desert absorb carbon dioxide equivalents, while the next lecture focused on rewetting wetlands. That variety really appeals to me!”

The programme uses a hybrid teaching format, combining distance learning with on-site weeks spent both in the forest and on campus. The fact that the programme is offered remotely was a prerequisite for Lisa, as she and her family spend periods of time living abroad.

“Studying remotely also allows me to work a bit alongside my studies, although I try to keep it to a minimum. After graduating, I want to continue working in sustainability consulting but with a clearer focus on forestry. I dream of spending more time in the forest!”

Lisa believes that more sustainability expertise is needed in the forestry sector, and based on her experience in the construction industry, she suspects that the sector could also benefit from new perspectives and people with different backgrounds.
