Agricultural Sciences is different from all the other Departments of Federico II. It looks like a small Campus immersed in the greenery of the Bourbon Palace of Portici, commissioned by Carlo of Bourbon in the eighteenth century and completed by King Ferdinand simultaneously with the construction of the Royal Palace of Caserta. Way back in 1872 the High School for Agriculture was born which, starting from the academic year 1935-36, assumed the name of Faculty (since 2013 Department) of Agriculture of the University of the Naples Studies. The Royal Site today constitutes an area of ​​notable naturalistic value characterized by a dense woodland formation and a historic botanical garden. In the Royal Palace are located the Direction, the Central Library, the Orientation Office and some Sections. The educational activities take place mainly in the Mascabruno Complex, a building located in the park surrounding the palace. 

Our Department, with its four three-year degree courses, with a highly scientific content, aims at preparation of professional figures who deal with agriculture, environment and food at 360 degrees. The Department of Agriculture presents a training offer modern, multidisciplinary and very attentive to the challenges of the near future. All of that helps graduates to find employment opportunities in very diversified fields.
