Dear Sir or Madam,
The Joint European Master in «Food Innovation and Product Design» FIPDes is a joint programme developed by four outstanding European High Education Institutes: AgroParisTech (France), Dublin Institute of Technology (Ireland), Lund University (Sweden), and Federico II University of Naples (Italy).
FIPDes aims to qualify students to cope with the huge challenges in the sector of food innovation along with product design and packaging, and encourages student’s aptitude to meet future developments. Auditors will follow an intensive curriculum during two years with mandatory mobility periods among the partner Universities, shared between academic courses, teamwork, practical trainings and a 6 months training period to prepare their MSc. thesis. This will allow them to acquire necessary notions and skills for their future professional responsibilities.
FIPDes is open to 25 well-motivated and high-potential students from EU and non-EU countries.Considering the limited number of places and the excellence criteria we recruit high potential and highly motivated students with a BSc. degree or equivalent.
We will be grateful if you could help us in the evaluation process of the best students.
We expect our students to have a long-term capacity for work, as well as a good ability to lead and manage projects and work in team with people from very different educational and professional backgrounds.
We thank you in advance for the time spent to prepare the recommendation letter. You will find hereby a form which could guide you.
We remain at your disposal for any further inquiry.
Yours faithfully,
Barbara Rega,
FIPDes Coordinator
