About the Degree Programme
The study program is primarily aimed at foreign students and is taught in English. Regarding the two basic areas from which students will establish themselves, it has a broader focus. At first, the full study is designed to provide students with sufficient information for agricultural production and management of the agricultural landscape. Emphasis is also placed on competencies in working with literature and the ability to solve specific problems. Additionally, the Multifunctional Agriculture will provide students of the ERASMUS+ exchange programme with a thematically comprehensive semester of education. Students can choose one or more semesters, depending on the orientation of study at their home university.
The degree programme is divided into four thematically linked semesters:
- semester – biological base of agriculture unifies the knowledge of students from geographically and climatically different countries to the level needed for successful completion of other semesters
- semester – conventional farming apart from cultivation and breeding-focused subjects, also agricultural biotechnologies
- semester – organic farming presents knowledge on planning sustainable systems of agricultural management, cultivating plants and breeding animals within ecological agriculture as well as on the processing of bioproduction at farms, social agriculture and agrotourism.
- semester – landscape management addresses questions concerning landscape planning, regional management and soil erosion protection.
