Dual Degrees
March 23 2022AgroParisTech is committed to supporting opportunities for its students to earn international dual degrees, as they are a tool that enables graduates to have their degrees fully recognized across the world.
These opportunities are available at different levels of study (engineering degrees, master’s degrees, Ph.D.’s)
– as part of multilateral programs, such as European projects.
In particular, AgroParisTech is involved in several Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree programs and in European doctoral networks;
– as part of ad hoc agreements, such as joint Ph.D. thesis supervision agreements;
– as part of partnership agreements that cover multiple students for a specific course of study. These are described below.

Dual Master’s Degrees
This dual degree program, available since the 2016-2017 academic year, is built around a shared two-year course of study—the first in Belgium and the second in France. Eligible students are jointly selected before admission to the first year of the program.
Upon completing the two years of study, students receive:
– an “Agrosciences, Environment, Territory, Landscape, and Forests” (AETPF) master’s degree, within the AAE (“From Agronomy to Agroecology”) specialization, granted by Paris-Saclay University (program conducted by AgroParisTech);
– a master’s degree in Agroecology jointly awarded by the University of Liège and Free University of Brussels.

This dual degree program, available since the 2020-2021 academic year, is built around a two-year course of study during which each student spends one year on AgroParisTech’s campus in Nancy, France, and one year on the University of Valladolid’s campus in Palencia, Spain. Students are selected during their first year of master’s studies and are given the opportunity to complete their second year at the partner institution. At the end of the program, they receive two degrees, provided they have followed the curriculum approved by the two institutions and complied with the conditions of the agreement. Proficiency in English and Spanish (minimum B1, preferably B2) is required for students enrolled in the first year of the AETPF program in Nancy who wish to earn this dual degree.
Upon completing the two years of study, AgroParisTech students receive:
– an “Agrosciences, Environment, Territory, Landscape, and Forests” (AETPF) master’s degree in the area of forestry, within the FEN (“Forests and their Environment”) specialization, granted by AgroParisTech.
– a DATAFOREST master’s degree from the University of Valladolid.

Created in 2000, this dual degree program is built around a shared two-year course of study, with each student required to earn 60 ECTS in each country. Students from any of the “Water Sciences” master’s programs are eligible to participate. A typical student in France will be required to complete the internship for their first year of master’s studies in France; the first semester of year 2 must then take place in Spain, and the choice of location for the second semester of year 2 is left up to the student. The system works in the same way, only in reverse, for students in their first year of master’s studies in Barcelona. Students are advised to have at least a B2-level proficiency in Spanish/French before the start of their second year of master’s studies.
Upon completing the two years of study, students receive:
– a master’s degree in “Ciencia y Gestión Integral del Agua” from the University of Barcelona;
– a master’s degree in “Water Sciences” jointly accredited by AgroParisTech, the University of Montpellier, Institut Agro Montpellier, and Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 University.
