This specialization replaces the original field of study Forestry.
This specialization is taught in Czech and it is also possible to study it in English as Forestry, specialization Forest Ecosystems Protection and Silviculture.
Entrance exam: We accept students for this specialization without an exam. Foreigners who do not have a secondary school leaving examination in a field taught in Czech or Slovak will be interviewed in Czech.
The Bachelor study programme Forestry, specialization Forest Ecosystems Protection and Silviculture can be studied full-time or part-time. The three-year study provides a comprehensive education in biological, ecological, and technical subjects. The aim is to provide all students with broad theoretical knowledge regarding all the functions of forest ecosystems, their interconnectedness and importance within 21st century society. Also, the role of society in the management of natural resources and the use of these natural resources, including the role of forestry in the so-called bioeconomy, with the strong social aspect of sustainable use of forest ecosystems. The subjects are arranged in such a way that students gain an insight into all core forestry disciplines and are able to apply them in practice, whether it is nature conservation, forest production, or the provision of recreational and other functions of the forest. In addition to theoretical lessons, the study also includes a number of field exercises.
The state final exam is taken before the committee. Students defend their bachelor's thesis and take exams in four comprehensive subjects: Silviculture, Forest management, Forest protection, Logging and transport of wood.
Graduates of the bachelor's programme Forestry, specialization Forest Ecosystems Protection and Silviculture, will receive the academic degree Bc. and they can apply for some of the related programmes of the follow-up master's degree (especially Forest Engineering) or go into practice, in particular:
- state administration staff in the field of forestry, game management, nature conservation and environmental protection; - owners of companies providing services in the field of forestry, game management, urban vegetation management, and wood trade; - employees of state and public nature conservation organizations (national parks, protected landscape areas, forest parks, etc.).

The quality of FLD graduates is also evidenced by published research on the unemployment rate of university graduates. For FLD graduates, the value has been very low for a long time; the latest figure is 1.6%.
