Programme MSc Agroecology

The objective of the training is to prepare graduates to produce innovation in agroecology, to create and support sustainability in the farming and food systems.

The programme provides the ecological principles to study, design and manage agroecosystems that are both productive and natural resource preserving, socially just and economically viable.

The MSc prepares students to link theory to practice and to cope with complex situation at different scales by combining scientific learning with professional and practical experiences.

The Master Agroecology is designed as a two-year programme curriculum including a practical thesis project....

The International Master’s Degree Programme in Forest Sciences and Business (MScFB) aims to promote the sustainable use of forest resources and human well-being through education based on scientific research. The programme is designed for qualified students who want to gain the expertise of a sustainable forestry cluster and work in an innovative, cross-cultural environment.

 

The Programme is organised by the Departments of Forest Ecology, Forest Economics and Forest Resource Management. Four major subjects are offered: Forest Ecology, Forest Resource Science and Technology, Forest Economics, and Forest Products Marketing.

 

 Within the specialised studies, you may choose between two options:...

The Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering programme focuses on:

Development of technology for the production, processing and storage of food and agricultural non-food Management of the rural area Renewable resources  Agro-industrial production chains.

In all cases it concerns innovation and sustainable technology. The interaction between technology, plants, animals, the environment and society plays a central role. Developments in society at large often involve the development of new technology. The adoption of new technology and its integration within existing processes therefore requires special attention. This is why the programme also offers a course in technology assessment....

The ever increasing demand for organically produced foods requires new and different production systems. In order to create such sustainable organic production systems a fresh scientific approach is needed. Wageningen University has created a programme to train academic professionals who want to work in this field.  

 

Program Domain

The Organic Agriculture programme has been designed to train students in multiple aspects of organic agriculture and the associated processing and marketing chain. An important goal is to prepare the students for interdisciplinary teamwork at an academic level. This study is unique in that it combines detailed consideration of the underlying principles and processes from a natural science perspective with social and economic studies. Creative thinking is required to design new sustainable farming and marketing systems instead of simply optimising existing systems....

The CBU Master’s Degree Programme in Forestry and Environmental Engineering (FEE) is based on bilateral and international collaboration in the fields of forest sciences and environmental engineering aiming to promote the ecologically and socially sustainable use of natural resources. Advanced scientific research guarantees high-level teaching in FEE. The goal of this programme is to develop your cross-cultural understanding and knowledge of varying working environments.

 

The programme gives you competence to work as an expert in the field – both in Finland and in Russia.

 

The five partner universities of the CBU in Forestry and Environmental Engineering are:...
