Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: D500
Here's what University Centre Myerscough says about its Arboriculture and Urban Forestry course.
The course is delivered at University Centre Myerscough and awarded by the University of Lancashire. The course is focused on delivering contemporary approaches to tree management informed by the latest academic research. It will equip you with the ability to effectively gather information, solve problems, make decisions and communicate your opinions - essential skills within the professional tree care industry.
You will learn how to integrate a knowledge of tree biology, plant pathology and soil science for effective tree management. Tree identification, surveys and the inspection of individual trees are key elements of the course. You will also learn how to think strategically about the management of the urban forest. You will be introduced to tree law, tree protection, safe working practices and the social, environmental, economic and aesthetic benefits of trees. This will give you the knowledge necessary to manage tree populations from individual trees to woodland communities, and to understand the underlying principles behind the management practices.
The Arboriculture and Urban Forestry programme covers a wide range of current arboriculture issues, including tree production and establishment in an urban environment, epidemic outbreaks of disease affecting trees, international developments in urban forestry, detection of decay in trees and the use of biotechnology in developing disease detection technologies and stress resistant cultivars. Issues of environmental sustainability are emphasised throughout the course. An integral and exciting part of this course is the opportunity for students to conduct their own piece of original research in an area of arboriculture that interests them. This not only allows a real area of expertise to be developed but gives Myerscough students further recognition as they progress to employment.
