Programme

The Master in Food, Society and International Food Governance is made up of two mandatory Specialisations, two elective Specialisations and a Final Research Project.

The two mandatory Specialisations are:

1. Food Systems Analysis
2. International Agri-Food Policy

You may then select two from:

1. Food and Society
2. Food Regulation (with Michigan State University’s Institute for Food Law and Regulation)*

3. Food Security: Assessment and Action (with FAO)

4. Impact Assessment of Security Programmes (with FAO)

5. Understanding the Right to Food (with FAO)

• Note that if you choose to take the Food Regulation Specialisation, you will be taking courses through MSU’s Online Campus. The MSU calendar is not in line with the UOC’s.
• If you opt to take the Specialisation in Food Regulation and the Specialisation in Food Security: Assessment and Action, you will earn 3 extra ECTS credits, meaning you will graduate with 63 ECTS credits as opposed to 60 ECTS credits.

To review the course content of the Specialisations that make up the Master’s in Food, Society and International Food Governance and when these Specialisations are offered, please visit the specific programme pages.
