Agricultural Science

Bachelor of Science

The Bachelor´s program in Agricultural Sciences explores the question of how we will produce our food in the future. What solutions are there to produce food regionally and globally while ensuring it is ecologically and socially sustainable as well as being animal-friendly and financially attractive for people in agriculture? And on top of that, making sure it is high-quality food that can still be produced despite the changing climate? How can agriculture also contribute to supplying energy and raw materials? If these or similar questions are on your mind and you want to contribute to their solutions, then agricultural science is the right course of study for you. With an integrated internship, you'll get to know problems and solutions firsthand. In combination with an agricultural apprenticeship, you can even shorten the duration of your studies by one semester. Our many hands-on courses help you gain research experience and already put your findings into practice.
