Organic farming (Master)

This page contains automatically translated content.

The Master's program in Organic Agriculture gives graduates access to a wide range of professional opportunities: The fields of activity range from agriculture, nature and environmental protection, food processing, trade, food inspection and certification, bio-energy production to the construction of machines and equipment.

Holders of a bachelor's degree in agricultural sciences or a related subject thus pave the way to professional practice or, by qualifying for a doctorate, to academia. In addition to methodological modules, students can develop their own individual study profile from a wide range of courses in the fields of soil, crop production, livestock, economics, social, environmental and food sciences, and technology. The focus is on acquiring competencies that enable students to take on management tasks in a wide range of professional fields and in the agricultural industry environment.
