There are four modules (24 credits) of compulsory modules in development economics and methods. Students can then specialize in agricultural economics or economics, each requiring a further 12 credits (two modules) of compulsory courses in the field of specialization. Then students can choose another five modules in development or agricultural economics from a wide variety of course offerings. Three modules can then be chosen freely also among other subjects and the Master thesis completes the programme.
