Complimenting the two popular MSc courses already run at IBERS, an additional three new MSc courses will be run from September 2011.
New Distance Learning MSc in Sustainable and Efficient Food Production
In partnership with Bangor University and the National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB), IBERS is offering its first MSc via distance learning - The Advanced Training Partnership MSc in Sustainable and Efficient Food Production.
A truly flexible course available over 5 years, the ATP’s MSc has a programme of training available for 2013 aimed at those working with and within the beef, sheep and dairy supply chain, with more training added each year. Designed for those in full time employment, the distance learning material can fit around your work and home life and will address the high level skills needs of the agri-food industry.
Postgraduate Research
The normal entry requirement for the three-year PhD research programme is a good honours degree or its equivalent in a subject relevant to the intended area of research. An honours degree in a suitable subject is also the normal requirement for entry into the two-year scheme leading to the MPhil degree. Applications are also welcomed from mature students and from non-graduates with appropriate experience that satisfy the University’s entry requirements.
