AGRICULTURAL, FORESTRY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
Descriptive card
The Agricultural, Forestry, and Environmental Sciences degree program is designed to equip graduates with the necessary skills to thrive in modern agricultural and forestry systems, while addressing the crucial aspects of environmental sustainability, land preservation, production efficiency, and quality enhancement. This interdisciplinary program incorporates practical activities and technical visits as integral components of all courses. It comprises a total of 180 ECTS spread over three years. During the first two years, students follow a common curriculum, while in the third year, the study plan diverges into two profiles, each consisting of 24 ECTS. These profiles aim to provide students with specialized knowledge in either the agricultural or forestry sectors. The study plan also dedicates credits to linguistic and digital skills, student-selected courses, and the final examination.
Admission Requirements
The program is open to candidates who possess a secondary school diploma or equivalent qualifications obtained abroad. Additionally, prospective students are required to take an assessment test that evaluates their proficiency in mathematics, physics, and logic, ensuring their initial preparation aligns with program requirements. Although passing the test is not mandatory for enrollment, it is a prerequisite for taking first-year exams.
