Double Degree in Agricultural and Food Engineering
The purpose of this Double Degree is to offer participating students the possibility of expanding and complementing the training received at the home university and opening new job opportunities due to their background and international experience.
This Double Degree brings together the syllabus of two universities with a strong practical and experimental base, oriented to the current market and that promote an entrepreneurial spirit and adaptation to different work environments.
Since the double degree is carried out through the mobility procedures offered by the UdL, students of the Degree in Agricultural and Food Engineering can apply to the program on the 3rd year and take the mobility during the 4th year. This Double Degree offers the student the opportunity to study one academic year (10 months or 2 semesters) at the other participating university and receive, with the same duration as the UdL Degree, also the title of the other institution. In addition, for Brazilian students it means the possibility of accessing Master's degrees in Agronomic Engineering.
