Prerequisites

Successful applicants must have a bachelor degree in agricultural science, biology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, genetics and related disciplines with an ECTS grade of B- or higher.

In countries in which a Master's degree is a postgraduate degree, admission to a Master's programme normally requires holding a Bachelor's degree (in the United Kingdom, Canada and much of the Commonwealth, an "honours" Bachelor's degree), although relevant work experience may qualify a candidate.

Progressing to a doctoral programme often requires that the candidate first earns a Master's degree.
