The
Technical University of Dresden is well-known for its contribution to forest management
science. The SUTROFOR specialization in the second year was for me very basic
and general. Many lectures were not really focus in the tropics (but I think
this is problem in all the universities) and the content and teaching methodology
of the class was rather old. However, it should be considered, that I’m a forestry
bachelor, maybe someone with other background could find the topics not so
basics.
In
relationship to the thesis, the university has many contacts with professionals
around the world. But currently, they only have the “Welcome to Africa” project
in Ethiopia, Sudan and others. Anyone interested can do their thesis in the
framework of this project, but unfortunately there is not funding available. The
university also has good connections with universities of Bolivia and Peru.
The
city of Dresden and Tharant (where the forestry faculty is located) are both beautiful
places. Dresden is good for social life; the transportation system is very efficient;
the city is a mixture of old and new architecture. In regards to the language,
it’d be very useful to learn basic German, just to get around in the city.
