In this program, students undertake a “Graduation Project” in their fourth year.
This project may include graduation research under the guidance of a supervisor from the Faculty of Agriculture or the Faculty of Fisheries, short-term study abroad to investigate agricultural and fisheries industries overseas, or practical training at international organizations. Supervisors for the Graduation Project are determined at the end of the second year.
