MSc opportunities: Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security and International Rural Development
The Royal Agricultural University, ranked third highest in the UK for the employability of its graduates, is still accepting applications for its two MSc degrees
Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security and International Rural Development for October 2015 entry – and also (new for this year) for a January 2016 entry. SAFS has a compulsory module studying sustainable soil and water usage – the two key resources for agriculture. IRD has a compulsory module studying natural resource management, again focussing strongly on water as a key resource both for agriculture and for rural communities.
Both programmes attract applicants from all round the world and we have graduates working in over 30 countries. You can expect to study in a multi-national community, taught by staff with research and consultancy experience in Europe, Africa and S E Asia, supported by international experts from many leading organisations.
This is a 12 month programme including the research project.
