Dear AGES Newcomers,
we welcome you to the master’s program in Agriculture, Ecology, and Societies. We look forward to meeting you. An intensive orientation period before the start of the semester will give you the best possible start to your studies.

Dear students, this material has been uploaded to a Moodle folder (AGES Info Board). Here you will find:

  1. Required module-specific preparatory material to help you prepare for specific modules
  2. Optional Introductory Reading Material for the AGES Master’s Program. Since you may have different academic backgrounds, take a look at disciplines and topics that are new to you.

If you still need the password to access the folder, please contact AGES Coordination (ages@uni-kassel.de)
