Agricultural Science

Bachelor of Science

The Bachelor's degree program in Agricultural Sciences explores how we will produce our food in the future. What solutions are available to produce food regionally and globally that are sustainable, ecological, socially responsible, animal-friendly, and financially attractive for those working in agriculture - all while maintaining high quality and security of supply in the face of climate change? How can agriculture also contribute to energy and raw material supplies? If these or similar questions concern you, and you want to contribute to finding solutions, then Agricultural Sciences is the right degree for you. With an integrated internship, you’ll experience problems and solutions first-hand. By combining your studies with agricultural training, you can even shorten your study period by one semester. In numerous practice-oriented courses, you’ll gain research experience and be able to put your findings into practice.
