Wageningen UR offers a broad range of studies and (short) courses focusing on the domain ‘healthy food and living environment’. Students are stimulated to combine the natural and social sciences; from plant sciences to economics and from food ingredients technology to sociology. This multidisciplinary approach helps students to build bridges and to apply their specialised knowledge to other subjects. Wageningen’s studies have their roots in society and are always focused on finding solutions for societal problems.
Education is offered at various levels. Wageningen University offers academic education and the Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences offers professional education. This unique combination of academic and professional education has led to a coherent system of bachelor and master programmes in the domain of healthy food and living environment. While Wageningen University students can strengthen their professional skills by taking courses at Van Hall Larenstein, the Van Hall Larenstein students can seamlessly continue their studies at Wageningen University.
Wageningen UR also offers post-graduate study programmes, trainings and courses thereby meeting the growing demand for continuing (lifelong) education.
