A.Y. 2022/2023
Study area
Agricultural and food science
The Master's programme, which will be held in English, aims to train students to understand and address rural development issues from different angles (e.g. technical, social, economic, institutional). Rural development is still a high priority in many parts of the world, where local communities base their existence on the agricultural sector, which requires continuous adaptation to respond to the challenges of globalization, population growth, natural and anthropogenic threats. Moreover, the development of rural communities should go hand in hand with environmental, social and economic sustainability, which is the only guarantee of a lasting and sound use of available resources in keeping with the institutional, cultural and natural environment. In this context, it is essential to understand the reality that we operate in, and to favour processes of self-development, empowerment, social and institutional capital building.
