Study Structure

EUR-Organic is a joint Master programme of six partner universities:

• WUR - Wagening University & Research, Netherlands
• UNITUS - University of Tusca, Italy
• WULS-SGGW - University of Life Sciences Warsaw, Poland
• ISARA-Lyon - Institut supérieur d'agriculture et d'agroalimentaire Rhône-Alpes, Lyon, France
• BOKU - University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria
• UHOH - University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany

During the MSc programme all Double Degree students will be studying at two different universities. The university where the student is accepted in the first year of the EUR-Organic is referred to as the home university. The university that the student chooses as second university will be referred to as the host university. As SGGW (Polen) and ISARA (France) do not offer a full EUR-Organic MSc programme yet, students can not start there but can move for the second year to those partners and choose them as host university.

Students can currently start and apply for admission at the following HOME UNIVERSITIES: BOKU (Austria), UHOH (Germany), WU (Netherlands), UNITUS (Italy) and between all six partners as HOST UNIVERSITIES, with one exception for students starting at WU. They can currently only choose among BOKU, ISARA and UHOH as host universities.

The full MSc study programme is worth a total of 120 ECTS. The programme is structured in 4 semester packages, each with a work load of 30 ECTS:

• two Basic Semester Packages (2 x 30 ECTS credits) at your home university
• one Specialisation Semester Package (30 ECTS credits) at your host university
• Master Thesis (30 ECTS credits) at your host university

The programme will start with a joint start-up module that is compulsory for all students enrolled in the programme.

When you apply for the EUR-Organic Master programme you will be enrolled and spend the first year of the Master programme at your home university.  

At the end of the first semester you will choose your host university and one of the specialisations offered at this university.

In the second semester you will continue with the second basic semester at your home university.

In the third semester you will go to your host university and start the specialisation.

Finally, you will complete the Master programme with a Masters Thesis conducted at your host university.
