The disciplines at LIFE covers: Veterinary Medicine, Agricultural Science, Agricultural Economics, Horticulture, Landscape Architecture, Development Studies, Food and Nutrition, Forestry and Environmental Sciences

 

To internationalize the research conducted and the atmosphere of the study environment has always been one of the goals of the old Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University and it is continuously as highly prioritized.  

“To internationalize is to be exposed to cultures and norms which differ from one's own. Through this exposure greater knowledge, insight and understanding is gained. Over the last 10 years, the Faculty of Life Sciences has worked systematically with internationalization of education, degrees and research. The goal is to ensure that we remain an internationally competitive university which is attractive to potential students, produces qualified graduates and attracts research funding.” www.life.ku.dk
