AGRIS MUNDUS – Sustainable Development in Agriculture Masters Course

Duration: 2 years

Course description:
The AGRIS MUNDUS Master’s Course is a product of NATURA, the network of European universities with a tropical and subtropical orientation in agriculture. Since 1988, NATURA has collaborated closely with institutions in Asia, Africa and the Americas in providing post-graduate education and training opportunities. It focuses on improving the management of rural and agricultural development for disadvantaged populations. The approach utilised stresses the mobility of people throughout the network, allowing different disciplines to exchange experiences and reinforcing a common high-quality standard in education and training.

This specific course provides its students with the skills and understanding to deal with current global and international concerns in agriculture and rural development. Graduates will be qualified to identify and critically analyse key factors shaping the development of crop, forest and animal production, the management of rural development projects and, finally, the sustainable use of natural resources. They will be trained to formulate and provide effective and appropriate responses to complex agricultural and environmental issues.
