Humboldt Universität zu Berlin
Humboldt's ideal of the unity of research and teaching has become a model for universities all over the world. Central to this model is the idea of research-oriented teaching and the transfer of knowledge based on research. The Faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture is dedicated to this principle and cooperates closely with research centres. Next to a broad range of interdisciplinary courses, it focuses mainly on “Food Quality Management” and “Urban Horticulture”. Berlin, the capital of Germany, offers an interesting mixture of international metropolitan life and cultural diversity, but also provides green areas and is surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of Brandenburg.
The admission to the master program requires an university degree equivalent to the German Bachelor or Diplom in Life Sciences. These include, in particular, Horticultural or Agricultural Sciences, Forestry, Nutritional Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Biology, Ecology, Geography or Economics and Social sciences.

Technische Universität München - Weihenstephan
Tradition and innovation are connected and used for enhancements in the two leading disciplines of the new century - "Life Science" and "Food Science"- at the campus of the Technical University Munich-Weihenstephan. The basis for the crosslinking between plant and nutrition science is an interdisciplinary and versatile education. Not only because of the central position in Europe Weihenstephan savours high reputation in the world. The very special charm of the location is due to the combination of a modern university campus with the atmosphere of a small city. Its character with cafes and cultural proposals is stamped by students. And the close distance to Munich and the Alps admits many further facilities besides the study courses.
The Horticultural Science master’s degree program at TUM School of Life Sciences will not take new students after winter semester 2020/21, since the program is being phased out. Students from partner universities can still spend a semester at TUM, as long as the program is running. Please contact the TUM student advisor via hortsci.co@ls.tum.de if you intend to spend a semester at TUM!

University of Agricultural and Natural Sciences (MATE), (Gödöllö-Budapest)
The MATE has been established on the 1st of February 2021 from the former Szent István University and 11 research units of the former National Centre of Agricultural Innovation. It is the immediate and full right successor of the former institutions. The program “Master of Horticultural Engineering” now runs by the coordination of Institute of Horticultural Sciences at Buda Campus. We have bilateral agreements on double degree education with Alma Mater Studiorum-Universitá di Bologna, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, BOKU Vienna and Humboldt University in Berlin. In these cases the equivalent courses are part of the agreement.
MATE is now the biggest agricultural university in Hungary and provides a high quality education at different levels. Horticultural education has a 160 years old tradition at the Buda Campus situated in the center of the city Budapest.
We invite you to join our programs in English either to get a degree or simply to spend a semester or a year gathering credits for the studies.
