Agriculture (B.Sc.)
Program structure
Structure of the program
The degree program is divided into two study stages. In the first three semesters, compulsory modules teach general and course-specific fundamentals that enable the students to be able to be incorporated into situations and the problems of the profession. Individual selection and profiling opportunities are already possible in the fourth semester. Areas of specialization are not prescribed. The concept allows focusing on a learning area in the module selection and specializing more intensely or choosing a more generalist profile.
For the "Poultry" and "Horse" areas, special major fields of study are offered.
All courses are designed in modules. The modules extend over one semester, have a size of five credit points or a multiple thereof, and are completed after the semester with an examination.
