 | Studieninhalte und Voraussetzungen des Agrar-Studiengangs MSc Crop Protection (Master) an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.
The two year MSc program "Crop Protection" is a newly established study program at the Department of Crop Sciences, University of Göttingen, which has long successful experience in research and training and with its specialized Divisions offers extensive potential for this new study and research program.
The curriculum is job and research oriented and follows an interdisciplinary approach of crop protection within the larger framework of crop production systems. In addition to the advanced study courses the capability for interdisciplinary research, improvement of oral and written communication and presentation skills are focused on.
Students have to carry out a six weeks internship in areas of crop protection, i.e. in agrochemical companies, in research or consulting institutions and experience the daily work environment. Specific knowledge of the respective area of work and/or research as well as social skills like work organization, team work, interdisciplinary work, flexibility will be acquired.
The two year MSc program comprises of four semesters during which 120 credits (ECTS) have to be completed. The courses of advanced study contribute 81 credits, an internship of 6 weeks including a written report and oral presentations 9 credits and the master thesis including the colloquium 30 credits. The training in conceptual and practicall skills is achieved through lectures, seminars, laboratory classes, field courses and project work.
