International Master of Science in Rural Development
20 July 2012 // No Comment
Deadline: 31 December 2012
Open to: Bachelor/Master interested in Rural Development and
Agricultural Economics, EU and non-EU
Scholarship: Erasmus Mundus full scholarship
Description
Are you a Bachelor/Master interested in Rural Development and
Agricultural Economics ?
Interested in a multi-disciplinary and mobile training in Europe, on a
EU scholarship ?
Are you seeking a further specialisation through an International
Masters Degree ?
THEN THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU!
The joint International Master in Rural Development (IMRD), part of
the European Erasmus Mundus program, offers the opportunity to study
the European vision on rural development in its diversity of
approaches and applications, on a scholarship provided by the European
Union (as of 2010-2011 also for European students).
The objective is to train specialists in integrated rural development,
focussed on socio-economic and institutional aspects, not only from
the European Union but also from developed, developing and transition
countries outside the European Union through a 2 year master program
(120 ECTS) jointly organised by seven European leading institutes in
agricultural economics and rural development.
The Master program is offered by:
Ghent University (Belgium)
Agrocampus Ouest (France)
Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany)
the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra (Slovakia)
the University of Pisa (Italy)
Wageningen University (The Netherlands)
in collaboration with:
University of Pretoria (South Africa),
ESPOL (Ecuador)
University of Agricultural Sciences of Bangalore (India),
China Agricultural University
Nanjing Agricultural University (China)
The methodology consists of a combination of basic and specialised
training in technical, economic and social sciences, a case study of
one month, an individual master thesis and a high extent of student
and scholar mobility.
Eligibility
Both EU and non-EU students are eligible for the scholarship.
The minimum graduate admission requirements are:
1. Applicants must have a Bachelor’s degree of minimum 3 years with
good overall scores (at least a second class or equivalent, preferably
higher) from a university or recognized equivalent. Candidates are
expected to have basic science training (demonstrable in the
transcripts) in the following fields: (1) mathematics and/or
statistics, (2) agronomy and/or biology and/or environmental sciences
and (3) social sciences and/or rural development and/or economy.
Candidates who cannot present a combined training of these fields will
be evaluated on their aptitude, based on experience and knowledge of
these fields, as demonstrated by CV or other evidence.
2. Sufficient language knowledge proven by language certificates. The
applicant must be proficient in the language of the course or training
programme, i.e. English. Command of the English language is a very
important criterion for admission. With the exception of those who
have a diploma (Secondary Education, Academic Bachelor Degree, Master
Degree) issued by an institution officially recognized by the Flemish
Government, applicants must be able to prove their proficiency in
English.
Scholarship
Students who wish to follow the International Master in Rural
Development have different options for financing the programme. As of
academic year 2010-2011, the European Union provides Erasmus Mundus
scholarships not only to non-European students, but also to European
students. The amount of scholarship is different however, and so are
the deadlines for application. For more information go here.
Application
APPLICATION FOR NON-EUROPEAN STUDENTS
The deadline for applying for Academic year 2013-2014 (IMRD Program
2011-2013) is December 31, 2012.
The Erasmus Mundus (EM) program of the European Commission offers a
limited number of Erasmus Mundus scholarships for non-European
students each year. For more information, click here.
If you are granted admission to the program, but are not offered an
Erasmus Mundus scholarship, or if you have missed the deadline for
applying for the scholarship, then you can choose to follow the
program as a“self-sponsoring” student. This means you cover the
expenses of your participation in the program with funding from an
alternative (non-Erasmus Mundus) scholarship, or with your own private
funds or a sponsor you have found.
APPLLICATION FOR EUROPEAN STUDENTS
The deadline for applying for Academic year 2013-2015(IMRD Program
2013-2015) is December 31, 2012, midnight (Central European Time).For
more information, click here.
Non-scholarship European students can also apply for an Erasmus grant
of the Life Long Learning program, even if they have previously
already received such a grant. There is no guarantee however that you
can obtain such a scholarship, since this depends on yearly decisions
both at national and European level.
