The Master of Science (MSc) is a research-intensive graduate program culminating in a thesis. This 24-month curriculum allows students to gain specialized knowledge while enhancing their research capabilities and scientific writing skills, equipping them for PhD programs or careers in governmental and industrial sectors. Prior to submitting your application for the REES MSc program, carefully examine the admission criteria and degree prerequisites. Applicants should note that securing a faculty advisor beforehand isn't mandatory. Agricultural economics examines practical challenges in farming systems, food markets, and consumer behavior. Meanwhile, resource economics analyzes natural resource allocation, economic impacts, and sustainable management strategies. Both disciplines play vital roles in addressing ecological concerns.
