Articulation of training activities

The course has a nominal duration of 2 years. Nominal activity of the student corresponds to the achievement of 60 credits per year. The students that have, however, obtained 120 credits, fulfilling all the provisions of the Regulations of the MSc in Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture, can obtain the title even before the two-year deadline.

Credits reserved for the activities autonomously chosen by the student can also be acquired in the form of additional language skills in the Spanish, Portuguese and French languages through the acquisition of credits certified by the University.
