Ph.D.Fire Protection of Forest, Timber and Wood-Based Materials

The doctoral study is the third and highest degree of university education and its length is dependent on the chosen field. The study can be completed in a full-time or combined programme. Doctoral candidates become members of individual FFWS departments and are principally engaged in scientific and research work, which includes the publication of research results in technical journals, and they also participate in teaching students of bachelor and master study programmes. The study is based on individual study programmes, each student passes examinations in five technical subjects (some of them at other universities) and in the English language.

Graduates of this doctoral degree program will be specialists for the fire protection of forest stands, wood materials and wood buildings. The program focuses on the possibilities of application of fire protection (prevention, detection, fighting or modeling of forest fires) in forest complexes. Students get also aquainted with the theory of wood burning, wood and wood-based materials, wood physics and mechanics under the influence of fire damage or fire protection of materials and structures. The most up-to-date laboratories are used in the research. This branch of study has a wide application in the fields of forestry, construction, fire protection and other industries.
