About
The core of the Plant Sciences programme at Wageningen University and Research, with a minimum of 36 credits, is a scientific research project which is concluded by writing a thesis.
The subject of the thesis is developed in consultation with a senior staff member of Wageningen University. If the necessary facilities and technical guidance are available, part of the research work may - in some cases - be done in the home country or another country.
During the Academic Consultancy Training (ACT), general academic skills and academic research and/or design skills are applied to a scientific area that is relevant to the master's study programme, in the form of an external research or design assignment. This may be design of new technologies, but also policy papers, business plans, communications or draft research plans are possibilities. This is done in an multidisciplinary team of four to seven students.
