The Master of Science program in Crop Production Engineering, offered by the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management, equips students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles in natural science, engineering, technology, and food chain safety essential for plant production. It also familiarizes them with contemporary technologies employed in crop production and guides them in their practical application.
Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on critical areas such as plant biotechnology, integrated crop production, integrated pest management, quality assurance in crop production, and the sectoral economics of crop production.
The curriculum encompasses a diverse range of subjects, including Physiology of Cultivated Plants, Organic and Biochemistry, Applied Soil Science, Agricultural Informatics, and Genetics of Cultivated Plants in the first year. In the second year, students delve deeper into specialized topics including Crop Production Economics, Precision Farming, Plant Breeding and Transgenic Plants, and Mechanization of Crop Production.
To ensure a balanced education, the program allocates nearly equal weight to lectures and seminars, as well as hands-on practical training. This dual approach ensures that students not only gain theoretical knowledge but also develop practical skills vital for their future careers.
To provide students with real-world exposure, the program includes a 4-week professional practice, allowing them to apply their knowledge in practical settings. This experience further hones their skills and provides valuable insights into the professional field.
The program commences in September 2027, spans four semesters, and accumulates 120 ECTS credits. The tuition fee is 8,000 USD per year, with additional fees including a 150 USD application fee and a 350 USD entrance procedure fee.
