Wageningen University & Research

{{Unreferenced|section|date=July 2019}}

In 1876 the Rijkslandbouwschool (National Agricultural College) was established in Wageningen. Due to the development of the training to a higher educational level it changed in 1896 to the Hoogere Land- en Boschbouwschool (Agricultural and Forestry College) and in 1904 in Rijks Hoogere Land-, Tuin- en Boschbouwschool (National Agricultural, Horticulture and Forestry College).

In 1918 the school became academic by law (Academic Education Act). The name changed to Rijks Landbouw Hoogeschool (National Agricultural College). The opening date and official start date is 9 March 1918.

In 1986 the research oriented "hogescholen" (comparable to scientific institute of technology or business schools) were renamed to University in a modification of the Academic Education Act. The new name became Landbouwuniversiteit Wageningen (LUW) (Wageningen Agricultural University (WAU)).

Over the years the research and teaching branched out into life sciences in general, while interest for agriculture as a career opportunity waned. In 1997, when the DLO institutes (Dienst Landbouwkundig Onderzoek / Service of agricultural research) merged with the university, the new organisation was rebranded as Wageningen UR (Wageningen University and Research Centre); with the university being renamed Wageningen University. Under Dutch laws the university and the institutes had to remain separate legal entities.

In 2006, the university of applied sciences Van Hall Larenstein became part of Wageningen UR. The idea was to create better collaboration between applied teaching and research at Van Hall and the academic research at Wageningen University. This would also support students to continue with an academic program upon completing their applied degree. However, due to differences in organizational culture and incompatibility of procedures, the collaboration remained problematic. In 2012 it was decided that Van Hall Larenstein would leave Wageningen UR and continue as an independent school once more. In the spring of 2015 the separation was marked by the move of the final Wageningen-based Van Hall Larenstein studies back to Velp.

In 2009 it was decided that the university would consistently use the English name in its communication, and that university research could be presented under the name of the university: Wageningen University (WU), or under of the name Wageningen University and Research (WUR).{{cite web|title=Wageningen Universiteit (WU)|url=http://www.studie.nl/school/W/Wageningen_Universiteit_%28WU%29|publisher=Studie.nl|access-date=6 March 2013|language=nl|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107041532/http://www.studie.nl/school/W/Wageningen_Universiteit_(WU)|archive-date=2012-11-07|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title=History of Wageningen UR|url=http://www.wageningenur.nl/en/About-Wageningen-UR/History-of-Wageningen-UR.htm|publisher=Wageningenur.nl|access-date=6 March 2013}} On 6 September 2016 Wageningen University and the research institutes became one joint brand: Wageningen University & Research (WUR).

On 9 March 2018 Wageningen University celebrated her 100 years anniversary. During this year there were many events and festivities around the campus and in the city of Wageningen.

Wageningen University was the first Dutch university or school that was allowed to use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) label. This label is awarded by the European Commission and guarantees the quality of the study program. The university consequently applies this system, thus promoting the mobility of students within Europe and preventing study delay.{{cn|date=March 2025}}

The university offers 19 BSc programs{{cite web|url=https://www.wur.nl/en/Education-Programmes/Bachelor.htm|title=Bachelor's|date=2012-08-30}} (2018–2019). For some BSc programs, the language of instruction is English. Other programs teach in both Dutch and English. The programs start each year in September, last three years, and consist of 180 ECTS credits. The programs are in the field of economy and society, health, life sciences and technology, nature and environment, animals and plants.

Wageningen University offers 36 different MSc programs{{cite web|url=https://www.wur.nl/en/Education-Programmes/master.htm|title=Master's|date=2019-02-06}} (2017–2018) and two online masters programs.{{cite web|url=http://www.wageningenuniversity.nl/UK/informationfor/stud-eu/ |title=Student Service Centre - Wageningen UR |publisher=Wageningenuniversity.nl |access-date=2013-07-09}} Although formally the same MSc program, from 2022 onwards the Master of Management Economic and Consumer studies program was offered as 5 independent MSc tracks (Sustainable Business Innovations, Sustainable Supply Chain Analytics, Consumer Studies, Economics of Sustainability, Governance of Sustainability Transformations).{{cite web |url=https://www.wur.nl/en/Education-Programmes/master/MSc-programmes/MSc-Management-Economics-and-Consumer-Studies.htm |title=Master's Management, Economics and Consumer Studies |website=wur.nl |access-date=2024-02-24}} The language of instruction for all Master's programs is English. The programs start each year in September, they last two years, and consist of 120 ECTS credits. Most programs offer various specializations and possibilities for majors, as well as full or partial premaster tracks for candidates not fulfilling all entry requirements.{{cn|date=March 2025}}

The regular PhD program is a four-year program during which PhD candidates are appointed as junior researcher in the universities, building up unemployment and retirement benefits. Such fully paid PhD candidates on a four-year contract can be asked to perform teaching tasks for a maximum of 10% of their time as part of their appointment. Candidates supported by specific grants (usually bestowed upon the candidate by an (international) organisation), or doing PhD next to a regular job can also enrol. In these cases a tailored timeline will be agreed upon. The program consists of a research component (conducting research under supervision and writing a thesis) and a smaller education component (30 ECTS or half a year of course load with conference presentations, and some management and teaching tasks can be listed as learning activity).{{cite web|url=http://www.wageningenuniversity.nl/UK/research/Graduate+schools/ |title=PhD Programme - Wageningen University |publisher=Wageningenuniversity.nl |access-date=2013-07-09}}
