Have a look here mate. I basically sat down and had a meeting with the head of department and brassed my case. I'm an engineer to trade but practical experieence of living in the country, bushcraft, working on farms etc helped.

Hi all,

(Apologies for hi-jacking the thread), but on a similar thread:
I'm filling in my UCAS form (the form we've got to fill in to apply to university) just now in school and we've got five choices to fill in: I'd like to make a couple of the choices for degree courses which would lead to a job working in forests.
As you can probably tell, I don't know what courses would be suitable for this, or what the possible job titles could include; but I'd like to have the option of taking one of these courses when the offers are sent out.
Any suggestions on what university courses might be good for this? Also, what jobs would I be able to apply for with the degree and are the employment prospectives good here in Scotland for those kinds of jobs?

Cheers,
Musicman.

Yep, I was there.

I was they annoying old git with the National Geographic buff on his head who sat in on your "Principles of Ecology" class last week too. In fact I'll be in there every week. I didn't want to do the the Natural History Museum outing because I'd already done it before.

ah, that was you!!! I'm the excessively tall bloke with glasses. Wish I hadn't gone to the NH museum, as the exhibit we needed to go to was shut. Fine piece of planning there.

google forestry or countryside management degrees. There's loads out there.

I knew it was shut and I told her. Oh well.
