ICF Accredited Postgraduate Courses

Institute of Chartered Foresters

At the end of 2007, the Institute of Chartered Foresters completed its periodic review of courses of relevance to the forestry and arboriculture professions in the UK.  The School of Environment, Natural Resources and Geography is delighted to be able to announce that the following postgraduate courses have been accredited as completely satisfying the educational requirements of the Institute's Professional Membership Entry (PME) process.  Students graduating with the following awards will therefore only require a minimum of two years' relevant work experience before submitting for chartered status through the ICF's PME examination.

Full-time postgraduate taught courses

In addition to the fully accredited postgraduate courses listed above, the following additional postgraduate taught courses have partial accreditation; that is they are recognised as contributing towards the educational requirements of the Institute's Professional Membership Entry (PME) process  However, students graduating with one of these partially accredited awards will require more than two years of relevant work experience, or additional recognised educatational qualifications, before submitting for chartered status.
Note: assuming no other qualifying educational attainment, the minimum required length of relevant work experience required by the ICF is indicated in parentheses in the table below.

Full-time postgraduate taught courses

We continue to encourage interested students who are registered on our accredited courses to apply for student membership of the ICF in order to network with professional foresters and to start to strengthen their individual curriculum vitae.

If you have any questions regarding the above, Tom Jenkins FICFor (tel. 01248 382448, t.a.r.jenkins@bangor.ac.uk) will be very pleased to answer your queries.
