hey!
I am a graduate of animal science from a Nigerian university. I have experiences in dairy farming and beef cattle management as I have worked in farms with both concentrations.
meanwhile, I love integrated farming and would like to learn more about latest technology and farming techniques. I pick interest in livestock breeding and nutrition, then hydroponics tomatoes farming and improved fish production.
I wish to know how much it costs to run Msc program including admission requirements and scholarship scheme available for international students. I also wish to know how to apply for short duration courses and costs, still ln the aforementioned areas of interest.
I look forward to receiving a detailed feedback.

thank you.

Msc in agricultural sciences
Hello Ayandele,

Because you want to know about 2 different options i will answer in two separate messages.

Let's start with a master in Agricultural sciences.

There are a few institutions in Israel which offer different MSc programs in agriculture sciences for international students, among them: The Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Beer Sheva, The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot and The Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

In order to apply for a master program in agriculture in Israel candidates must present a first degree in biology, biotechnology, agriculture, animal sciences, food sciences or any of the related fields with a GPA of 80 or more.
In cases students are not from an English speaking country, they will have to take an English proficiency test like TOEFL or IELTS.
Candidates must submit three letters of recommendation, and relevant experience is the field of agriculture.

Each institute offers a different scholarship s in order to get more information about the different scholarships you'll have to contact them directly.
Keep in mind most international students who get a scholarship come from countries that are considered poor or in crisis.

I've attached a link at the bottom of my message where you can find a link, once you'll click it, it will send you to an article about the different programs you can choose from and more information about the admission, institutions and more.

Best regards,
Noa
