Degree Program: Organic Agriculture and Food Systems (Master)

Note: Last updated September 2019. Current module catalog in HohCampus.

This programme intends a change of location between home and host university after the first year. Eight modules are compulsory. One elective module can be chosen from the list of all master modules of the Faculty of Agriculture. Particularly recommended modules are listed below. Students who do not want to pass the second year at one of the host universities have to substitute the module Start-Up-Module "Principles of Organic Food Systems" by the module "Organic Food Systems and Concepts". During the third semester 30 credits either have to be gained at one of the host universities (AU, WULS or BOKU) or have to be chosen from the list below.
