2. Requirements for candidates
The candidates have a bachelor degree in Management of Environment and natural resources and join an entrance exammination.
The entrance exammination is included the 03 tests in (1) probability statistics mathematics, (2) foreign language (English, French, Chinese,…) and (3) environmental management. The candidate will not attend the foreign language if they sastify the currently Training Regulations of Ministry of Training and education for master training.
For the candidates’ bachelor degree, which is not Management of Environment and natural resources (e.g. environmental science, crop science etc.), they must take the 03 courses in Environmental ecology, environmental science and method of analysis of environmental parameters. However, AGU has concerned to detailed candidate’s transcript to decide the number of courses.
