Objetivos del curso
The core study program consists of modules covering international agricultural trade and agricultural and rural development policy as well as business administration, management and agribusiness marketing. As a research-oriented M.Sc. in International Agribusiness, a strong emphasis is put on acquiring research skills in methodological modules covering econometrics, marketing and social science research. The course further offers a number of optional modules in agricultural technology, agronomy and animal production. Teaching modules include also seminars, computer-aided exercises, and team work so as to enhance presentation, communication and team-building skills of students. The course lasts for 26 months (including a two months German language course). There are three teaching semesters with a total of fifteen modules. The first semester commences in March of every year at the University of Talca in Chile , where students are expected to pass at least 3 (max.5) modules (each having about 60 hours per semester). In late July of each year, students relocate to Germany in order to attend a two-month intensive course in elementary German. During the next two semesters at the University of Göttingen they attend 10 to 12 additional modules. Exams are held at the end of each semester, i.e. in February and in July. During the remaining research phase of nine months (August to April), students undertake their M.Sc. thesis research -usually in their home country/region - in collaboration with agribusiness firms, government or non-governmental or international organizations concerned with the agribusiness sector. The thesis has to be presented to an academic committee in Göttingen at the end of the program.
