The MSc in Agro-Environmental Management combines agricultural production with nature, climate and environmental management, drawing on four core areas at Aarhus University. Teaching is in English and the programme is based in Aarhus, starting in August or September. Students work with lectures, laboratory work, farm visits and excursions around Denmark, and are linked to research groups for project work or the thesis. The page makes clear that the programme is no longer offered separately: the last summer intake was in 2022 and it has been integrated as a specialisation track in the MSc in Agrobiology.
