Department of Wood Technology

The Department of Wood Technology at the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology was founded in 1948 and since then it has been providing the education of qualified personnel required for the development of the industrial wood processing and furniture production in Croatia.


The Wood Technology Studies at the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology of the University of Zagreb are the only university studies of such type in Croatia.  From the date of its establishment it has been of a great importance in education as well as in research activities related to wood as material, to its mechanical processing and chemical treating, to wood products, equipment and machinery required in wood technology, and to the organizational and economic matters.  In addition to many different activities such as active participation in and coordination of the domestic and international scientific conferences, the Department of Wood Technology has also been publishing the scientific and professional journal “Drvna Industrija”/ “Wood Industry”. The Department of Wood Technology combines the teaching, scientific, research and highly professional work of all teachers, associates, scientists and researchers of the Department of Wood Technology of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology.


In addition to the undergraduate studies which provide the basic knowledge of a wide range of topics related to Technical and Natural Sciences, as well as the expert knowledge and skills required by the modern development of the industrial enterprises, the Department of Wood Technology offers also the possibility for professional development at the graduate and postgraduate studies as the logical sequence of studies at a higher-education institution not only for students, but also for those who have completed the graduate studies in the field of Technical, Biotechnical or Natural Sciences.
