The BSc in Agriculture (equivalent to the Agronomist course) is designed for students to obtain the knowledge necessary to operate successfully in the different areas of agriculture, with special regard to plant production, animal breeding and environmental aspects related to agriculture. The training starts with a strong emphasis on basic sciences, especially chemistry, plant and animal physiology, physics and mathematics. The technical aspects of agriculture are important parts of the curriculum, which also includes the fundamentals of precision agriculture. The principal areas of training from the third semester are animal breeding and crop production, which includes all the related sciences necessary to operate as a qualified agronomist. A special emphasis is placed on the environmental aspects and on the application of environmentally sound technologies, which results not only in less environmental load, but also in a more economical way of production.
Structure of studies
The total number of credits needed to complete the programme is 210 credits. The courses of the programme are divided into four categories: compulsory courses (155 credits), optional elective courses (10 credits), placement outside of the institution (min. 30 credits), thesis (10 credits). 1 credit equals one ECTS credit, and 1 credit is defined as 25 student working hours.
