Where are the jobs?
Forestry graduates primarily work in the forestry sector, for example at forestry companies, service providers, energy companies, organizations, and foundations. Government agencies, SLU, and municipalities and parishes that own forests are other employers.
It is common for those with forestry degrees to be self-employed (28 percent). This is partly because a large proportion of those studying forestry are also landowners.
