Study program
The foundation course interlinks the basic scientific subjects of agricultural science with the applied agricultural subjects. This makes the interrelationships clearer. Ecological issues are given more focus than is usually the case in agricultural courses.
The main study phase consists of seven compulsory elective modules, which you can choose from a module catalog of over 40 modules. This offers you individual scope to either continue your broad education or to set your own focus.
Students should be introduced to research-based learning and learn a problem-oriented, interdisciplinary approach. Furthermore, key qualifications such as communication, taking responsibility, networked thinking and the ability to work in a team should be trained.
In individual, often practice-oriented seminars, special aspects of organic farming and related disciplines as well as methods and languages are developed during the course of study, e.g. soil science exercises, wildlife education, poultry feeding or technical English.
Students are introduced to their future professional activities through specific tasks and practical work in companies or other professional institutions.
The Bachelor's thesis has a processing time of eight weeks. As a rule, students discuss the content of a topic of their choice using scientific literature. In the colloquium, the thesis is presented for 20-25 minutes and questions are asked by the examiners.
