About the program:

 The new program offered by the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences is a double diploma degree in food technology taught in English in cooperation with a partner from Spain, University Miguel Hernandez of Elche. Students will spend part of the course in Spain and part in Poland, they will have the opportunity to write their master’s theses under the supervision of lecturers from both universities, and in the end they will receive two diplomas. More academically oriented students might appreciate the fact that the new double diploma program stems from a long time partnership of both universities in research and PHD level education, which offers unique opportunities for further academic development, such as the International Doctoral School offered by the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences. Admissions will begin in September 2021, with the first batch of students expected to start classes in Poland, in March 2022.
