European Master of Agroecology- double degree option in collaboration with FESIA France

Single degree option from UMB Norway An overview of semesters and modules can be found
here.
You can also download the latest course catalog from the column on the left for current offerings at UMB.
Both options start with a full semester (30 credits) introducing students to the structures and functions of agroecosystems, methodology for describing, analysing and improving such systems, and for individual and group-based learning. In this semester there is a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to current issues in farming and food systems.
Students may do a 30 or 60 credit thesis with the single degree from UMB, while with the double degree option, they take classes in France during their 3rd semester and complete their thesis in the final semester. For this reason, only a 30 credit thesis is possible for the European Master's of Agroecology.
Both degree options allow for the opportunity to study abroad at different universities during the second and third semesters. For a list of some example courses related to Agroecology at UMB and other universities commonly attended by agroecology students during their Master degree, click
