The aim of this programme is to provide individual scientific education and training in any of the following areas: Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Forest Science, Restoration Ecology or Equine Science. In the near future, the AUI will also offer a M.Sc. degree in Landscape Architecture.

The research-based M.Sc. usually involves a 60 ECTS independent research project and 60 ECTS in courses. Only 14 ECTS are compulsory courses; a course in scientific writing, a course on research ethics, and (active participation in) graduate school seminars. The rest of the courses should support the student´s in his/hers individual research project. These can be taken at AUI or other qualified academic institutions within Iceland or abroad.

When a student applies to the research-based M.Sc., he/she will be appointed a contact person from AUI’s academic staff, if he/she hasn’t already found one. This person helps the student to develop a research project idea, find at least two qualified supervisors to form a M.Sc. committee, and to make suggestions on which courses should be included in the project plan. The course selection should support the research theme in a logical manner, fulfilling the general learning outcomes of AUI’s M.Sc. studies.
