At Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, applications are due 2026-01-15; tuition is 320,000 SEK for the whole program.

This Master's programme prepares students to manage the wood supply chain from forest to industry, covering raw-material requirements for industrial processes, supply strategy and systems, and operational management. A capstone course involves interactive case studies developing sustainable wood-supply strategies for forest industries in Swedish geographies.

The programme comprises four core 15-credit courses (raw material requirements, supply strategy, operations management, and competitive wood supply), 15 credits of electives such as GIS in year one, and 15 credits of remote sensing in year two, concluding with a Master's thesis, often sponsored by industry partners.

Graduates typically work as upper-level managers and staff specialists in national and international wood-supply organisations; many take temporary production or logistics manager roles between the two years of study.
