This year, we can welcome more than 80 new food and agricultural science students. 

- In Agro-Environmental Management we have 12 new students, which is quite satisfactory. In addition, there are elective and exchange students as well as students from the Erasmus Mondus programme Sustainable Animal Nutrition and Feeding. This means that we expect classes of 12-32 students on those courses. This is looking good, says Tommy Dalgaard, who leads the MSc programme. Correspondingly, there are 4 and 15 full degree students in the Agrobiology MSc course lines which, when including exchange students, means that we can maintain an attractive selection of subjects in all our lines.

Agro-Environmental Management (AEM) 12
