Two Organic Courses at University of Copenhagen

Organic food production developed early in Denmark and now plays a major role, with one the highest consumptions in Europe and 7% of organic farmland.

Exploiting these trends, University of Copenhagen has since 1998 offered courses in English in Organic Farming and Food.

We offer two courses, "Organic Agriculture" at BSc level, and "Organic Food Systems" at BSc/MSc level, each covering 9 weeks (15 ECTS) and together making up a full semester. However, they can be followed independently.

Applications and other information

In both courses we emphasize high levels of independent student activity, competencies in learning, presentation skills, as well as putting knowledge into context through excursions and problem-based project work.

The Faculty of Life Sciences (previously KVL) at Copenhagen University has a long record of accomodating well for foreign students.

Deadline for application is November 1, 2008 (but we are somewhat flexible on that).
