Overview

The added value of DAFM is the combination of special expertise and complementary strengths of each university in a jointly integrated, interdisciplinary curriculum.

The acquired skills and comprehensive knowledge enable graduates to successfully work for public offices, research institutes, development agencies, regional advisory companies, wholesalers/retailers, food-processing companies, NGOs and governmental institutions.
