 Postgraduate

            1.         Introduction

The Department of Agricultural Economics started offering Postgraduate Courses in the 1969/70 Academic year.  To this end, it has developed a core of highly experienced personnel in the different special areas of the discipline.

            2.         Objective of the Programme

Graduate study in Agricultural Economics is intended to enable participants to qualify as professional workers in Agricultural Economics through intensive study of theory, analysis, and methodology in relation to the problems of economic organization and development of agriculture.  Each student is required to choose a special field of concentration.

            3.         The Degrees to be Offered

In response to the changing needs, in terms of agricultural demand services of our constantly changing society; the Department offers two degrees – the M. Sc. and the Ph.D. Programmes.  The time-period of each degree is as follows:

            (i)   A minimum of a three semesters for M. Sc. degree in Agricultural Economics   based on course work plus thesis.

            (ii)    A minimum of 6 semesters for Ph.D. degree in Agricultural Economics based on course work with a Ph.D. thesis based on an intensive independent research after the Master’s degree.
