Greetings from Faculty of Forestry
The Faculty of Forestry is one of the founding faculties during the formation of Universiti Putra Malaysia, formerly known as Universiti Pertanian Malaysia. As an academic entity, the following functions are central to the faculty: teaching, conducting research and providing professional services. These activities are in line with UPM’s goals to produce students who are competent, resilient, far-sighted and with high moral values. Our intention is to deliver quality graduates who can contribute to the success of the nation. Our motto is to leap forward – we are committed to transform the Faculty of Forestry into a centre of excellence in tropical forestry education and research.
In our pursuit to establish state-of-the-art professional facilities together with outstanding human resources, the faculty continually strives to improve teaching methods, produce high-quality research, and provide necessary relevant expertise. The Faculty of Forestry presently offer three undergraduate programmes, namely, Bachelor of Forestry Science, Bachelor of Wood Science and Technology and, also Bachelor of Parks and Recreation Science. These, along with Masters and Ph.D programmes are conducted through, the Department of Forest Production and Department of Forest Management at the faculty.
It is my hope that we can interact with internet users. We appreciate feedback to help us create a quality working environment and to meet the needs of the nation in shaping human capital for the forestry sector, timber industry and eco-tourism sector.
