Four Egyptian universities (El-Minia, Mansoura, Alexandria, Ain-Shams) have launched a new Masters program in seed sciences in partnership with the Universities of Copenhagen (Denmark), and Cieskowski (Poland). The new M.Sc. curriculum will have harmonized mandatory features of the European academic framework and a credit point system compatible with the European credit transfer system. The course is for three semesters of lectures and practical work, followed by one semester for thesis work.
