Internationalisation

This programme is organized in partnership with the University Faculty of Agriculture at Gembloux.
 
It offers thorough training in research adapted to take account of the agri-food sector in countries with some or no degree of industrialization and their need for scientific and technical development. 

Currently, the teaching is mainly done by lecturers from UCL and F.U.S.A.Gx who, for the most part, have teaching experience in developing countries. Some of them are involved in research projects with partners in the Southern hemisphere. Doctoral students and confirmed researchers from these countries also supervise students. In addition, every year experts from the South present their knowledge of other subjects and working methods which are totally  adapted to the scientific, economic and human perspectives of the South.
 
The Standing Committee for University Co-operation towards Development recommends this course in its programme of courses and international placements. It is constantly being improved in the light of experience gained over many years, and also from suggestions from students and recommendations from experts who are regularly asked by Committee to assess the quality of the course.
 
The degree awarded at the end of the course is widely recognized in developing countries.
