The degree in Environmental and Food Economics offers the opportunity to study at several European universities, where students will be able to attend lectures and obtain credits for their degree. Our partners are selected among the most prestigious academic institutions: France (Rennes), Finland (University of Helsinki), Germany (University of Gottingen, Justus-Liebig-Universitat - Giessen, Martin-Luther-Universitat Halle-Wittenberg, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms- Universitat Bonn, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg), Greece (University of Athens), Netherlands (Wageningen University), Poland (University of Warsaw, Warsaw University of Life Sciences- SGGW), Spain (University of Madrid- Politenica, Universidad de Castilla - La Mancha - Ciudad Real, Universitat Rovira i Virgili -Tarragona), Switzerland (University of Geneve), Norway (University of Agder - Kristiansand), Croatia (Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek), Denmark (Kobenhavns Universitet).
Erasmus+ also provides Placements, that is, the opportunity for a traineeship in companies and other organisations abroad. The new Erasmus+ program provides the following new study and placement opportunities: a) 12 months abroad (study periods and placements); b) placements, including for new graduates (within 12 months of completing a degree). Students who have already studied or had a placement abroad may apply to Erasmus+, nevertheless remembering that the possible total of 12 months for each Erasmus+ study cycle includes the months previously spent abroad.
