Course of studies

Consumer Affairs

Degree

Master

Description of course of studies

Consumer Affairs is a world-wide rising field in research and higher education. It analyses consumers in their economic, social and ecological environment. The demand from corporate and governmental sectors as well as consumer organisations for higher education graduates in this field is very high. Following the idea to improve the supply of highly educated and qualified employees in the field of Consumer Affairs, Aarhus University (Denmark), the Technische Universität München (Germany), Wageningen University (Netherlands) and the Warsaw University of Life Science (Poland) have established a consortium with the aim of offering the European Master’s Programme in Consumer Affairs (EURECA). Beside the basics of Consumer Affairs (30 ECTS), students are required to choose two out of the following seven specialisations. The specialisations “Consumer, Technology and Innovation” and “Sustainable Consumption” are offered by the Technische Universität München:

Consumer, Technology and Innovation (Munich)
This specialisation deals with the consumer in context of the development of technologies, products and services within markets and inside companies. What is driving innovations and what role plays the consumer? It is also important to look at economic and legal aspects related to this topic.

Sustainable Consumption (Munich)
Water, energy and food are limited commodities. For this reason careful utilisation of them is indispensable for humanity. In the last years the topic of sustainability has become increasingly important. Everybody is directly involved by consuming daily goods and services . This specialisation deals on the one hand with topics about consumer and health behaviour and on the other hand with the impact of companies and governments with regard to the concept of sustainable consumption. In this context, students should deal with the topics of sustainable consumption and marketing. The Partner Universities offer the following specialisations:
  • Consumer Affairs Management (Aarhus)
  • Consumer Studies (Wageningen)
  • Food Policy and Management (Warsaw)
  • Marketing (Aarhus)
  • Marketing Management (Wageningen)

Murder that shaped the future of Kenya PDF Print E-mail
Written by RUPI MANGAT   
Thursday, 30 April 2009 16:27

Marking 103rd anniversary of Koitalel arap Samoei’s murder at the Nandi Bears Club. Photo/RUPI MANGAT Nandi Hills in Western Kenya is one of the most beautiful and fertile areas in the country, the proverbial land of milk and mursik (Nandi for sour milk).

Yet in 1905, a gruesome killing of one of Nandi’s strongest leaders Koitalel Arap Samoei took place here.

It was on October 19, 1905, on the grounds of what is now Nandi Bears Club that Koitalel was asked to meet the infamous Englishman, Col Richard Meinertzhagen for a truce. Instead, Meinertzhagen killed Koitalel and his entourage in cold blood.

Sadly, not much is available to the public about the legendary Nandi leader; Wikipedia describes Koitalel as a local witchdoctor.

It is with profound sadness that we, Tindireetians, learnt of the sudden demise of Engineer George Kimurgor Mutai son of Henry Kimutai Chesumbai (Nyangusioot) of Ketbarak, Nandi Hills. George just graduated last Summer (2007) with an MSc in Engineering and lived in Lousiana, USA. He died in an accident involving a truck and a car in which he and his cousin, Julius Kiptum Koskei (Boit) of Kesees near Moi University.

George was generous, sharp, committed and full of life and he couldn't have died at a worse time for Tindireetians. We were all working towards a greater awareness for our plight in academics and George was a very influential and pivotal part of that arrangement.
