Agronomy Poznan University of Life Sciences

Overview

The Faculty of Agronomy and Bioengineering at the Poznan University of Life Sciences is our oldest faculty, with a history of almost 100 years. Our assets are connected with the combination of experience and advanced techniques and technologies both in our research and teaching practice. 

The Faculty has highly qualified staff and excellent teaching and research facilities, including our own experimental stations.

The Master’s studies programme comprises over 1240 hours of lectures, laboratory classes, seminars, field trips and inspections, e.g. visits at pesticide manufacturing plants both in  Poland and other EU countries. 

The programme is focused on broadly understood issues connected with agriculture in various management systems (conventional farming, organic farming, sustainability farming). The curriculum is based on a module system* making it possible to  intensify and rationalize the teaching and learning system. Interdisciplinary studies include the latest advances in theory and practice in the field of Agronomy and Agriculture, making it possible for our graduates to acquire skills and qualifications needed to work within the broadly understood agricultural sector, particularly plant breeding and seed production, plant protection against  agrophages, renewable energy sources or plant nutrition.
