Bachelor of Forest Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf: An example of practical orientation
Practical orientation is an important component of the Bachelor programme “Forest Engineering” at the University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf (HSWT) in Freising, Germany. Important factors to implement a practical approach into the 3.5 year programme include a ten week project “Forest Management” during the second year, an internship semester during the third year, 25 days of interdisciplinary practical training and a substantial number of projects, practical training, seminars or case studies within regular modules. Furthermore, a forest of 1500 hain size adjacent to the faculty for teaching is at hand and all teaching staff has at least three years of professional background outside academia. Practical orientation is not a feature which is permanently guaranteed by a certain curriculum but rather an enduring development process. Close liaison with stakeholders from working life is pivotal to the success of this endeavour.
