The Maîtrise en foresterie (M.Sc.) at Université Laval is a research-oriented graduate program focused on advancing knowledge in forest sciences, sustainable management, and conservation of forest ecosystems. Objectives include developing expertise in forest ecology, silviculture, and resource management, with an emphasis on the boreal forest characteristic of Quebec. Unique features include interdisciplinary approaches integrating geomatics and environmental policy, and opportunities for fieldwork in managed and natural forests.
Graduates are prepared for roles in forest management, research, and policy-making. Common career paths include positions in government agencies, forestry companies, environmental consulting firms, and international organizations focused on sustainable development.
The program benefits from the Forêt d'enseignement et de recherche du lac Shaw, a 1,000-hectare experimental forest for hands-on research. Partnerships include collaborations with Natural Resources Canada, the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests, and international networks like the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
