The study programmes combine high-quality engineering education with extensive practical experience. Alongside compulsory courses, students gradually specialize according to their interests and, under the guidance of academic staff, become involved in solving real engineering problems, participating in research projects, and collaborating with industrial partners.

The department guarantees teaching in three Bachelor's degree programmes and one follow-up Master's degree programme.

Bachelor's Degree Programmes

• Agricultural Machinery and Technology – Modern agricultural machinery, automation, precision agriculture, and digital technologies.
• Manufacturing Technology – Machine design, manufacturing processes, automation, and Industry 4.0 technologies.
• Handling and Transport Engineering – Material handling equipment, robotics, logistics systems, transportation, and operation of technical equipment.

Graduates of the Bachelor's programmes can seamlessly continue their studies in the follow-up Master's programme in Agricultural Engineering and Technology.

Follow-up Master's Degree Programme

• Agricultural Machinery and Technology – The programme focuses on advanced methods of engineering design and development, computer modelling and simulation, CAD technologies, automation, sensor systems, and research-oriented education aimed at innovation, development, and the application of modern technologies.

The curriculum also includes technical field trips, professional internships, and Bachelor's and Master's thesis projects addressing current industry needs.

We place strong emphasis on advanced language education. In addition to English courses, students may study other foreign languages or further develop their language skills through international exchange programmes and internships abroad.

Students can also tailor their studies to their individual interests through a wide range of elective courses offered across all departments of the faculty as well as other faculties of the University.

The programmes are designed for anyone interested in engineering, modern technologies, and their practical applications. They are an excellent choice for students interested in machine design, automation, robotics, digital technologies, precision agriculture, and the development of engineering solutions for industry, transportation, or energy systems.

Students acquire a solid engineering foundation complemented by expertise in digitalisation, machine vision, unmanned systems, computer simulation, and intelligent control of technological processes. The programmes emphasize independent problem-solving, analytical and critical thinking, and the effective use of modern technologies.

If you enjoy finding innovative solutions, want to understand how modern engineering systems work, and would like to contribute to developing the technologies of the future, our department offers an excellent environment for both your professional and personal growth.

One of the greatest strengths of our programmes is the close connection between education and industry. Guest lectures by industry professionals, technical excursions, professional internships, and solving real engineering challenges are integral parts of every study programme.

Students develop the skills required to design, analyse, test, and optimise engineering systems while learning to apply modern digital tools, automation, and intelligent technologies to practical engineering problems.

Bachelor's and Master's thesis projects are often carried out in cooperation with industrial companies, agricultural enterprises, or as part of the department's research projects. This enables students to tackle real engineering challenges, gain valuable professional experience, and frequently establish relationships with future employers before graduation.

Graduates pursue careers in areas such as:

• Development, design, and operation of agricultural and industrial machinery
• Manufacturing, material handling, and transport technologies
• Automation, robotics, and process control
• Research, development, and testing of innovative engineering solutions
• Logistics and material transport
• Precision agriculture, digitalisation, and Industry 4.0 applications

The department's research focuses on the development, testing, and application of modern technologies for agriculture, industry, transportation, energy, and environmental protection. Research is an integral part of the educational process, and students have opportunities to participate in research projects from the early stages of their studies. They may receive scholarships for their research activities while contributing to projects with direct practical impact.

The department includes three specialised research facilities: the BAT Centre, the Drone Centre and the Applied Computer Vision Laboratory, which provide state-of-the-art facilities for research, development, and practical teaching. Researchers at these centres focus on unmanned systems, machine vision, automation, and image processing technologies and emission monitoring. Their work contributes both to scientific research and to practical solutions developed in cooperation with industrial and agricultural partners.

Main Research Areas

• Precision agriculture and autonomous systems
• Unmanned technologies
• Machine vision and image processing
