It is essential for AUN/SEED-Net students to conduct high quality doctoral thesis research of international standard and to complete doctoral degrees within three years. The AUN/SEED-Net Project thus provides thesis research assistance for AUN/SEED-Net students through the joint thesis research supervision from Japanese Supporting Universities. To facilitate this assistance, Collaborative Research Program has been introduced, in which each Host Institution, in consultation with Japanese Supporting Universities identifies a few well-defined and focused Collaborative Research Themes (or research umbrellas), each of which is a sub-area of research defined by several key words leading to a number of interrelated and progressively conducted possible thesis research topics. Then some of those research themes/topics will be carried out by AUN/SEED-Net students under joint supervision of Host Institutions and Japanese Supporting Universities, while other research topics are encouraged to be carried out by graduate students of Member Institutions as well.

The Short-Term Study Program in Japan aims to provide such support for students in the Doctoral Degree Sandwich Program. During three years of scholarship period, students can visit their Japanese co-advisors once or twice, for a total duration of eight months to receive thesis research supervision.

Objectives

[Europe] Master Scholarship in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis

Master Scholarship in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis

Overview
The European Master in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis aims at providing a high quality education in designing and assessing public policies targeted to the agricultural and food sector as well as the rural environment. This European Master responds to the increasing need to better understand and anticipate the various and often complex socio-economic and environmental effects of these policies either in a functioning market economy as in the European Uni0n or in economies in a development or transition phase. The European Master offers a two-year academic curriculum with integrated and advanced theoretical, methodological and empirical courses in economics and quantitative methods as well as in agricultural, food and environmental sciences, agricultural and trade policy, environmental and natural resource policy, rural development policy and agribusiness management and market analysis. To connect theory and methodology to practice, a problem solving project is developed and presented as a master thesis at the end of the two-year curriculum.

Partner universities
The European Master is jointly organised by five leading European educational and research institutions:
  • Corvinius University of Budapest (CUB) in Hungary
  • Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Sweden
  • Rheinische-Friedrich-Wilhelms Universität Bonn (UBonn) in Germany
  • Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) in Belgium
  • Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Spain
These five partner universities are recognised worldwide for the quality of their educational programme and scientific achievements in agricultural, environmental and economic sciences. After successful completion of the AFEPA academic programme, AFEPA graduates receive a joint diploma entitled European Master in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis and the official Master degrees from the two Consortium universities where they have attended.

Admission criteria

To be admitted to the European Master in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis candidates need to have a Bachelor degree or an equivalent academic degree of minimum three years of undergraduate study corresponding to 180 ECTS. Students in their final year of their Bachelor degree may be admitted in the Master programme on the condition that their Bachelor degree is awarded before they enrol the programme. All candidates also need to have followed courses in mathematics, statistics and economics as well as agricultural, food and environmental sciences at least at an introductory level. Candidates must agree to complete the academic curriculum in two consecutive academic years and to the terms in the study contract as specified by the AFEPA consortium.

Candidates from English speaking countries must provide an official letter from their university from which they graduated attesting that English is the media of instruction. All other candidates need to provide evidence that they master English at a level corresponding to a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper version), 213 (computer version) or 79 (internet version) or a minimum overall band IELTS score of 6 or with a signal deemed equivalent by the AFEPA consortium. Candidates who choose to study at UCL and UPC also need to prove that their command of French and Spanish, respectively, is sufficient for them to participate in courses at these two institutions. If French and Spanish are neither their mother tongue nor the language of their past study, it is advised that these candidates obtain the B1 threshold level of the Common European Framework of Reference, i.e., they can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. For French, it corresponds to the DELF B level and for Spanish to the DELE “intermedio” level.

Candidates can apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship except those who have already benfited from an Erasmus Mundus Master Course scholarship or are benefiting from another European Community grant while pursuing their Erasmus Mundus master studies.
