New Master programme: Experts for the agricultural transition
Image: Sonja Rode.To this end, the programme combines in-depth agronomic content with an examination of how agriculture is embedded in society and economic processes. With a wide range of options, AGES enables students to shape their studies according to their interests and career goals. The programme emphasises interdisciplinary, critical and project-based learning. At international partner universities, students can specialise in agroecology, rural development and environmental management, among others. All AGES modules are taught in English.
The degree programme prepares graduates for jobs in agricultural policy institutions, agroecological consultancy or research institutes. Here they can play a role in the shift towards more agroecology, climate protection, biodiversity or animal welfare. A Bachelor's degree in agricultural sciences, social sciences, economics or humanities is a prerequisite for this Master's programme. The departments involved are Ecological Agricultural Sciences, Humanities and Cultural Studies, Social Sciences, Architecture - Urban Planning - Landscape Planning (ASL) and Economics.
