The MSc programme, the fourth of its kind, is carried out under the cooperation between the AICAT and the Tel Aviv University (TAU).  

Khuat Van Quyen, First Secretary of the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel, thanked the AICAT and TAU for supporting Vietnamese students and expressed his impression on advanced technology applied in agriculture in Israel.

He hoped that after the 18-month course, the Vietnamese students will acquire valuable agricultural knowledge to apply in their homeland.

Professor Raanan Rein, TAU Vice Rector, said that this course is special as it is the combination of academic study and practical work. It is designed to support global food safety and security, he noted.
