Studieavdelingen

Applicants must hold a Bachelor degree or equivalent qualification in agriculture, horticulture, economics, natural resources, biology, food science, nutrition, engineering, rural sociology, or other field related to agricultural production or the food sector. Practical experience from agriculture or the food sector is recommended.

This MSc programme is comparable to other Master of Science degrees. The programme is designed to attract students from a wide range of disciplines. We expect students who work in all parts of the food systems, from farm production to processing to marketing, as well as in allied fields such as natural resource management, biology, economics, politics and rural sociology to apply for this programme.

Initially the programme was designed for students from across the Nordic and Baltic region and from Europe, but at present the programme attracts students from all over the world.

Since the programme is given in English, fluency in both written and spoken English is essential. Applicants whose first language is not English must generally provide documentation of English proficiency.
