1.2 Specializations
A: Management Studies (Bedrijfswetenschappen including Facility Management)
This specialization deals with management in agri-businesses. The management topics studied include
strategy, innovation, logistics, management accounting, financial analysis and market research. The food
chain is often the object of study within this specialization. This chain consists of the 1st
stage (raw
material delivering companies) processors (Cargill), 2nd
stage processors (Unilever), Financial companies
(Rabobank) and Retailers (Albert Heijn). Students can also specialize in Facility Management of large
companies or government institutions. Facility management is the design and support of various aspects
that are not the companies’ core business, such as housing, canteens and logistical processes. A
separate digital brochure is available upon request.
Specialising in Management Studies entails writing a thesis related on management, operational research
& logistics, marketing & consumer behaviour, facility management, (agricultural) business economics or
information science.

B: Consumer studies (Consumentenwetenschappen)
This specialization is centred around consumers and households. Studying lifestyles and well-being of
households receives a lot of attention. Well-being of households is mainly determined by income, living
environment, household activities and professional care. Changes in these factors have their effect on
the economy as a whole. Therefore, food producers need to be constantly aware of the wishes and
desires of the consumer. Possible majors are: economics of consumers & households, sociology of
consumers & households, communication & innovation studies, marketing & consumer behaviour and
consumer technology & product use.

C: Economics, Environment and Governance (Economie, milieu en bestuur)
This specialization focuses on economic, environmental, and governance analysis, and is concerned with
issues relating to economic development, the agricultural sector and rural areas within the European
Union and within developing countries, environmental economics, natural resource management and
environmental quality, and international trade. To analyse these issues, macro- and micro-economic
theories are applied, as well as theories from related disciplines such as law, sociology, and public
administration.
Within “economics, environment and governance”, the student can major in any of the following six
profiles: agricultural economics, development economics, regional and rural economies, environmental
economics, environmental governance and public administration and governance.

D: Management, Innovation and Life sciences
The specialization Management, Innovation and Life Sciences (MLS) is intended to bridge the gap
between the world of management, innovation and entrepreneurship on the one hand and the world of
science and technology on the other. The focus of this specialization is on the interaction of technical and
managerial knowledge in the agri-business. This specialization is specially designed for students with a
predominant technological background.
Themes within MLS
Within the programme, you will focus on only one of the three themes:
Theme 1: Management of innovations
Theme 2: Innovations in decision support and economics
Theme 3: Innovations in operations management
Within the management of innovations theme, the innovation process, is key. Which parties contribute to
the innovation process, in which stage of the process and how to organise this? Answering these
questions is essential to enhance the chance to a successful innovation. Customers and consumers are
addressed separately; what is the target group and how to approach this group. You will write your
thesis at the chair group Management Studies (MST) or Marketing and Consumer Behaviour (MCB).
The theme Innovations in decision support and economics is focused on decision-making. How to model
alternative decisions, how to support decision makers with decisive information and how to get insights
in economic consequences of decisions? Innovation processes are risky enterprises; in order to make the
right choices for an effective and efficient innovation process, understanding of decision support and
economics is of importance. You will write your thesis at the chair group Business Economics (BEC),
Operation, Research and Logistics (ORL) or at Information Technology (INF).

Page 10
Within the Innovations in operations management theme the supply process is subject to study. A
successful market introduction is also based on the tailor made supply of the goods on the agreed terms.
Quality, time, responsiveness are, especially for life science products, critical points of attention.
Innovating life science products implicates innovation of the logistical design, the governance and
information system to properly guide the innovation to the customer. You will write your thesis at the
chair group Management Studies (MST), Operation, Research and Logistics (ORL) or at Information
Technology (INF).
1.3 European Double Degree programmes
Students in this MSc programme have the possibility to join one of our European Master programmes.
There are several options which offer the possibility of graduating at two universities ('double degree')
and are meant for students from specializations A, B and C. To gain a double degree within the regular
MME programme, students can choose between the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Cremona
(Italy), Universität Bonn (Germany) or one of the FESIA universities which are spread over France. For
more information about these double degree programmes, please contact the Programme Director
E.P. Kroese.
1.4 Job Opportunities
Having completed a Master education you can start in an academic job. As an Mcs you will have
developed a logical and systematic way of thinking in which problems can be analysed systematically.
Therefore a Master education offers more choice in future careers than a bachelor education.
The acquired skills and knowledge can be applied in many practise areas and therefore academics are
found in all sorts of positions such as management, policy making and research.
Management Studies graduates seek for careers in business (Unilever), consulting (Boston Consulting
Group), government (ELI Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation), research at research
institutes (LEI institute for economic research), or research within companies (R&D Friesland Foods)
Consumer Studies graduates are positioned at non-profit organizations (Consumer Safety),
governmental institutions, research institutes (for example TNO, institute for applied life science
research), research within companies (R&D Philips) or marketing positions within businesses (Unilever).
Economics, Environment and Governance graduates have careers in policy making (ELI), research
and sector management (Food & Agribusiness department Rabobank). At least one out of ten graduates
works abroad for a short while. This usually happens at foreign universities, and international companies.
Management, Innovation and Life Science graduates have careers in consultancy in the Food and
Agribusiness sector. Some have started their own businesses in Food or Food Processing Industry.
1.5 Special arrangement for Dutch ‘presetatiebeursstudenten’
“Prestatiebeursstudenten” have a right to the ‘basisibeurs’ for a total of 4 years (for social science
students). Besides this they are entitled to loan for a total of eight years from DUO when they study.
Students are also entitled to the public transportation card for a maximum of 5 years in total. Master
students at Wageningen have the possibility of extra “studiefinanciering” to a maximum of twelve
months (a refund made by Wageningen University) if the student completes the MSc programme within
10 years after starting the bachelor education. The MME programme is a two year social science
programme which is registered with DUO as a one year programme. All Social Science Masters in the
Netherlands are registered with DUO as one year programmes. This is the reason why our university has
the one year refund policy. This year compensates the missing second year of study finance.

page 11
When you would like to know more about financial aid, please contact the student dean at 0317-483618.
And inform yourself well via DUO on your right to study finance. Check appendix 3 for more detailed
information on extra “studiefinanciering” from our university.
1.6 Study progress monitoring for students with a residence permit
The Dutch parliament has approved a new immigration law. The new law is called Modern Migratiebeleid
(Dutch for 'modern migration policy'). Under the law new procedures will come into force. The aim of the
law is to make the Netherlands more welcoming for specific groups such as highly-skilled migrants and
students. For those groups immigration procedures will be speeded up.
One of the main changes for international students will be the monitoring of their study progress.
Students who don’t make enough progress risk losing their residence permit.
Because a residence permit will now be issued for the duration of your studies, there will be no yearly
contact with the IND for the purpose of extending the permit. Therefore, under the Modern Migration
Policy the monitoring of students’ progress will be introduced.
Every year a student needs to gain at least 50 per cent of the study load for an academic year. For
example, if the study load is 60 ECTS per year, a student has to gain a minimum of 30 ECTS per year. A
university is obliged to inform the IND about the yearly study progress of its international students.
If the student is not able to finish 50 per cent of the study load in a year, a university has to investigate
why. If there was a justifiable reason, such as pregnancy or illness there will be no direct consequences
for the student, but note that each reason for a delay in studies can be used only once.
If on the other hand no justifiable reason can be found, the university has to deregister the student with
the IND. The residence permit issued for the purpose of studies will be withdrawn. The student then has
to return to his or her home country.
For more information on changes take a look at http://www.nuffic.nl/international-students/how-to-
prepare/visas-and-permits/long-stay-visa/new-immigration-law

2 Study Programme
The study programmes of the various specializations in the MME-programme have the same structure
with a minimum of 120 credits (2 years). Paragraph 2.1 will elaborate on the structure of this MME-
programme. Students with “HBO”(Dutch university of professional education) as prior education level
have to do (besides the MME-programme) a special prerequisites programme of 24 credits. This
prerequisites programme is elaborated on in paragraph 2.2. These students with HBO as prior education
have the possibility to upgrade their HBO-internship by writing a BSc thesis of 12 credits. If HBO-
students upgrade their HBO-internship their total study programme will exist of 132 credits. The study
programme for students that do not upgrade their HBO-internship, but follow the academic internship
within the MME-programme will exist of 144 credits. This special arrangement will be elaborated below in
more detail.
Students with an “HBO” including a “HBO-minor at Wageningen University”, which is elaborated on in
paragraph 2.3, do not have to follow the total prerequisites programme. This is also the case for students
with an academic degree.
The size of the programmes is as follow:
Academic Degree HBO degree
HBO degree +
HBO-minor (at
Wageningen University)
MME programme =
120 ECTS
Prerequisites programme
+
MME programme =
144 or 132 ECTS
MME programme =
120 ECTS
After choosing a specialization every student selects a profile. Attention: A student is not automatically
accepted into each specialization. However, when accepted a student is free to choose one of the profiles
within the specialization.
Appendix 5 contains an overview of all study programmes by specialization and profile. This appendix 5
contains the study programmes for both students with an HBO degree and students with an academic
degree. HBO students who did a HBO-minor at Wageningen University may be completely exempted
from the prerequisites programme. These students always need to consult their study advisor about this.
The (digital) Study Handbook of Wageningen University provides detailed information about the courses
(e.g. learning outcomes, teaching methods, instructors, number of credits etc.). This information can be
found on the website www.wageningenuniversiteit.nl/uk/education/studentinformation. On that page you
have to choose study handbook, scheduling and SSC online.
The first three letters of the course-code refer to the chair group. For example MST 21306 “Advanced
Management and Marketing” has “MST” as chair group. MST stands for Management Studies. This course
can be found as follows:

There you will find information on course schedules, description and lecturers.
2.1 MME programme
The study programmes of the various specializations in the MME programme have the same structure
with a minimum of 120 credits (2 years). Every specialization consists of common courses, profiling and

page 13
specializing courses and an optional part. The programmes all start in September only and almost all
courses are taught in English.
Common Part 18 credits
The courses in the common part are compulsory for all students regardless their specialization. The
courses included are Academic Consultancy Training and Skills Training. Food Ethics or Ethics for Social
Science and the Seminar.
Academic Consultancy Training and Modular Skills Training (12 credits):
This combination of courses helps you to improve your project management, communication and
cooperation skills while working in a multidisciplinary team. Students work in a group consisting of 5-8
students and carry out a research project together.
Skills are chosen in consultation with and after agreement of your study adviser.
Seminar (3 credits):
This course will assist you in developing a critical and scientific mind set. It starts with a basic block of 4
compulsory workshops which focus on a number of abilities for a scientific approach (e.g. understanding,
structuring and summarizing scientific information) and continues throughout the academic year.
Food Ethics or Ethics and Social Sciences course (3 credits):
Both courses provide you insight into the ethical aspects relating to food or social research.
Specialization and Profiling Part 87-99 credits
Depending on your background (HBO or Academic) you must follow 5 or 7 specialization or profiling
courses. The courses will give you a sound theoretical and technical foundation in your chosen profile.
Included in this part is the Thesis Preparing Cluster. This cluster is formed by an advanced specialization
course and the thesis preparing course which fits your profile. These two courses are needed to have
access to writing a master thesis. The internship and master thesis conclude the specialization and
profiling part.
When you have already done one of the courses in this part, you may, with permission from the study
adviser, do a substitute course. But you must be able to proof that you have done a course of similar
level. You cannot receive an exemption for any course in this part of the programme.
If you have not done any (technical) natural science or life science course in the field of animal sciences,
plant sciences, health and nutrition, and food technology in your previous study programme, you must
do one natural science course in consultation with your study adviser. This course will substitute one of
the 5 or 7 specialization and profiling courses.
Specialization and Profiling Part
a) 5-7 specialization and profiling courses (depending on your background Academic or HBO)
b) including Advanced Specialization Course and Thesis Preparing Course
c) Internship or Internship Upgrade (Upgrade for HBO students only)
d) Master Thesis
Internship Upgrade, Internship and Thesis
The internship or master thesis are the individual test of academic ability for the student.
Internship Upgrade for HBO students only 12 credits:
Students with a Dutch HBO-educational background have the opportunity to upgrade their HBO
internship experience. When the student writes a BSc thesis of 12 credits, he/she can ‘upgrade’ his/her
HBO-internship. Then the student does not have to do an internship at Wageningen University. This BSc
thesis consists of a literature research on the topic of the HBO internship or one can chose a new topic.

Page 14
Internship 24 credits:
The aim of the academic internship is that students experience the institutional, entrepreneurial, and
labour reality of a possible first academic working environment of a recently graduate from their study
programme. Proper internships require that students after completion of the internship are expected to
be able to:
- apply certain scientific knowledge they learned during their study programme;
- execute certain professional skills better than before their internship;
- work independently with a sense of responsibility for the organization; and
- expand their personal network.
The work during the internship must be carried out on an academic level, which means
attention for reflection on the practices of the internship provider and on the performance
of the student (reflection-on-action). Students need to get the opportunity to reflect on
their strong and weak points and on their further personal development.
The quality and academic level of an internship is checked by the university supervisor.
Students with at least 3,5 years of relevant work experience on academic level can opt for an exemption.
Ask your study adviser about the procedure. This procedure is only started after the student has gained
over 30 ec in courses.
Students who are more research oriented may (after consultation with your study adviser) choose to
write a second thesis of 24 credits. The research for a second thesis must be done for an organization
outside Wageningen University.
Master Thesis 33 credits:
The thesis is written in the last half year of the study. The thesis is intended to develop and test your
research skills and enables you to analyse and evaluate problems and possible solutions in a systematic
and clear way. The minimum requirement for a thesis is 33 credits (five months full-time work), but it
may be expanded up to 39 credits. The selection of the research topic, the writing of the research
proposal, and the various elements of the research and thesis takes place under the supervision of a
university staff member.
Optional Part
This allows the students to select a course in consultation with their study adviser of at least 3 credits.
2.2 Prerequisites programme (schakelprogramma)
Graduates from a Dutch HBO-education who did not do a HBO-minor (see below), are obliged to
follow the prerequisites programme. The prerequisites programme consists of four courses that totals to
24 credits (about 4 months). This prerequisites programme contains three methodology courses
(Mathematics for Social Sciences, Research Design & Research Methods and Quantitative Research
Methodology and Statistics) and one third-year-bachelor course that varies per specialization. The
prerequisites courses are mixed with the regular Master courses in the first year. The prerequisites
programme is shown in table below:

2.3 HBO-minor
HBO students can do a HBO-minor(of 24 or 30 credits) at Wageningen University during their HBO study.
The HBO-minor is scheduled at Wageningen University in Wageningen, in the first, second and third
period of the academic year of Wageningen University. HBO students of admissible HBO programmes can
participate in a HBO-minor in the third or fourth year of the HBO study in consultation with the HBO
study advisor. For all four specializations of MME there are several separate HBO-minors (see appendix
1). Students can select one of the three offered HBO-minors in consultation with the Wageningen study
advisors.
The courses marked in bold for the different HBO minors are compulsory. Students can select 2 of the
other mentioned courses in consultation with the study advisor. MO stands for morning course and AF for
the afternoon. There is a possibility to substitute the optional HBO-minor courses for more advanced
courses after approval by the examination committee.
To be admitted to the HBO-minor you should have obtained 150 of the 180 credits of the first 3 years
(when you are in your fourth year). When students use this minor to continue with the master
programme MME they should be aware that admission to the HBO-minor is no automatic admission to
the master MME. For admission to MME the criteria in the following chapter must be met.
When you want to subscribe for a HBO-minor you should subscribe yourself as ‘bijvakstudent’. This
means you are a student at another university or HBO and you follow one or more courses at
Wageningen University. You should also have the permission of the examination committee of your HBO
to follow these courses at Wageningen University. You can download the form to subscribe via

When the prior HBO-programme does not meet these standards, additional prerequisites courses will
have to be completed. This implies a longer study programme.
Students with a professional Bachelor and a HBO minor at Wageningen University may be completely
exempted from the prerequisites programme. Students always need to consult their study advisor about
this.
Students from partner Universities
If you are from one of the following universities, you are admissible to the MME programme when you

4 Application procedure
If you are seriously interested in the MSc Management, Economics and Consumer Studies and you would
like to enrol, the application procedure is as follows:
 Check if you meet the admission requirements mentioned above. Is your education not
listed or do you have an academic BSc degree, please contact Jamila de Jong (BSc, HBO) or
Maya Lachmansingh (BSc/HBO) Edwin Kroese (BSc) via mme.msc@wur.nl to evaluate your
education. They can tell you all about your specific procedure of acceptance. You can also apply
if your degree is still anticipated. You need to be in possession of your degree before the start of
the academic year.
 Fill in the Registration form before May 15th
(outside EU) or August 1st
(EU) 2013,
which can be downloaded from http://www.wageningenuniversity.nl/UK/informationfor/stud-
dutch/admission/.There you will also find information on required documentation. Application
handed in after the appropriate deadlines will not be processed for the start of the academic
year 2013.
 You can either be admitted to the MSc MME programme (with a BSc degree) or to the
prerequisites programme (with a HBO degree). HBO students will first be registered into
the Bachelor Business & Consumer studies or the Bachelor Economics and Governance. For
administrative reasons the prerequisites programme is registered as part of the BSc. You will
start with the prerequisites programme but will also receive permission to follow some MSc
courses at the same time. The prerequisites programme should be completed within one year
after which you will be officially enrolled into the MSc programme.
 You will then receive an admission letter. Attention: This is also based upon your GPA and
level of English.
 Dutch students have to send a form to the DUO-IB-group stating the change of education.
(See DUO-IB-group website, www.ib-groep.nl)
 Mid-August you will be invited to the AID (General Introduction Days) for the MSc
Students. During these day’s information will be given about your study at Wageningen
University. It is a great opportunity to get to know Wageningen, the University and its facilities.
A lot of fun combined with all sorts of practicalities best describes the information days. The AID
of Wageningen University can be recommended.
 After the introduction days there will be an additional Education Day in the last week of
August. On this day information is provided about the education and the choices you will have
to make. It is therefore a very important day to attend.
 After the Education Day, you will have an additional appointment with your study adviser
about your study profile. It is important to prepare for this meeting by thinking about a
preferred theme. Together with the study adviser you will design a study programme to meet
your personal interests.
 For Dutch HBO-students a Mathematics Refreshment course is offered optionally (for
Dutch speaking students). This is recommended to students with little mathematical knowledge.
The aim of this course is to prepare students for the compulsory Mathematics M course. The
Refreshment course starts at the end of August (1 week before the academic year) and will
continue during the first period. The course syllabus titled “Voorbereidingspakket Wiskunde” is
available at WUR-Shop, Droevendaalsesteeg 2, building 102, Wageningen.
 The first Monday in September 2013 will be the start of the Academic Year!

Article 3 Aim and content of the regulation
a. This regulation concerns the decision taken by the Executive Board (on 28th
March 2002) that
students who belong to the categories laid out in Article 2 of this regulation will, under certain
conditions, receive WU funding for a maximum of 12 months. The application for and payment of
the WU funding will take place after the diploma has been obtained.
b. The total amount of the supplementary WU funding is calculated as the product of:
 the number of months the student has been enrolled at Wageningen University from the end
of the four year performance study grant from the DUO IB-Groep until and including the
month of the date mentioned on the diploma, with a maximum of 12 months; and
 the monthly sum of the basic (and supplementary) grant (excluding any loan and the cost of
the OV-card), to which the student was entitled in the last month of performance study
grant.
c. The total amount, as set out in section (b), will increase at the start of each calendar year in
which there is no entitlement to a WU grant by the interest rate set by the DUO IB-groep for the
preceding year. This means that the increase will be fixed on the 1st January as from the
beginning of the fifth year of study financing.
Article 4 Conditions
a. The student has received exactly four years of performance study grant from the DUO IB-Groep.
In the case of an extra year of DUO IB-Groep performance study grant, being awarded because
of special circumstances, the student can appeal to the hardship clause of this regulation (Article
8).
b. In his fifth year of funding the student is younger than 30 years. After thirty years of age, the
student is only entitled to WU funding if he has received funding from the DUO IB-Groep since
the age of 30 without interruption.
c. The student must have obtained the diploma of a study programme named in article 2 within ten
years from the date of his first performance study grant of the DUO IB-Groep.
d. The student must have obtained a minimum of 300 ECTS (including exemptions) in case of
unified study programs, and 120 ECTS (including exemptions) in the case of Masters study
programs. It is permitted to obtain extra study credits.
e. The student applies for the WU funding on the grounds of this regulation within six months after
the date of the diploma.
