Program structure

This page contains automatically translated content.

The Master program is a cooperative program together with the University of applied Science Fulda.

It is characterised by a multidisciplinary approach at the interface between agriculture, food business and consumer sciences, within an international and cross-cultural context. Bridging modules compensate different background knowledge of the students.
