Program structure

It is an English-language, internationally oriented degree programme offered as a joint degree program by the University of Kassel in cooperation with Fulda University of Applied Sciences. The degree programme makes use of the expertise of the two participating universities in Fulda and Kassel and the resulting synergies.

The Master's program is designed to enable students to acquire scientific knowledge in the fields of natural sciences, economics and social sciences as well as methodological skills in order to be able to critically classify, evaluate and implement these in responsible and managerial positions in national and international companies and institutions in the food industry, particularly at the interfaces of different cultures. In these positions, they can optimally meet the wishes of consumers, companies and society in different cultures.

It is characterized by a multidisciplinary approach at the interface between agriculture, the food industry and consumer sciences in an international and intercultural context. Bridging modules compensate for students' different background knowledge.

Students who have obtained a first degree at a German university must earn at least 12 of the required credit points at a foreign partner university.
