FAO scholarship, sponsored jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation (FAO) and the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture, plays major role in the international education portfolio of the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The program has fourteen years good history aiming to provide excellent opportunity for granted international students to do their agriculture based master studies in our country. This June eleven FAO students have graduated at our University at three Master programs: Food safety and quality engineer, Horticultural Engineer, Animal Nutrition and Feed safety engineer.
As the last action of the scholarship program a closing ceremony was organized for the students by the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture on June 23, 2022. As part of the program, students were greeted by Mr. Oszkár Ökrös, deputy secretary of Foreign Affairs at the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture and Mr. Raimund Jehle, deputy director of the Reional Office of FAO. Rami Khaled Ahmad Masoud (Jordan) delivered farewell speech on behalf of the graduating FAO students. Finally, a boat trip and a reception were organised, which was a worthy closure of the two-year-long education program and it is for sure a long lasting memory for the graduates.
Hope our graduates are inspired to be new „agricultural ambassadors” of Hungary and of the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life sciences and create a bridges between our countries in the future"
