An undergraduate degree in Economics or Agricultural Economics is strongly recommended for this program. Applicants without prior knowledge of microeconomics and quantitative methods are strongly advised to take some preliminary economics course before commencing their study. Students may join immediately after their undergraduate degree, or after some years of employment to enhance career prospects by acquiring further skills.
