Agricultural science degree abroad

In the Master’s Programme in Agricultural Sciences (AGRI), you can pursue studies in plant production sciences, animal science, agrotechnology, or environmental soil science, depending on your interests and previous studies. The University of Helsinki is the only university in Finland to offer academic education in this field.

The MSc in Urban Agriculture and Green Cities aims to train future managers in urban agricultural and horticultural jobs according to an innovative and broad-based approach to planning, development, and sustainability.

Graduates of the Agroecology and Plant Health teaching program acquire the knowledge required for dealing with agricultural and environmental issues using a multi-disciplinary approach based on ecological principles. Both research and teaching center on studying the interactions between the biotic and abiotic factors in agricultural systems, and on environmental aspects of modern agriculture.

The B.Sc. Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is offered on McGill University's Macdonald Campus. Students can also explore courses and other opportunities on the Downtown Campus, and pursue field courses and research activities locally and around the world, including field study semesters in Panama, Barbados, and Africa. Students can customize their learning experience by picking one of five different majors (Major in Agricultural Economics, Major in Environmental Biology, Major in Environment, Major in Life Sciences, Major in Sustainable Agricultural Systems) along with multiple specializations, concentrations, and/or minors.    

The International PhD Program in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI) combines expertise from many disciplines in the agro-environmental field aimed at training researchers, enabling them to carry out qualified scientific activities in the field of plant and animal production, considering also aspects of eco-sustainability, climate change and recovery of polluted and degraded areas in order to restore their agricultural cultivation capabilities.

The A.S. in Agricultural Science and Technology is designed to enable students to prepare for a career in this essential and diverse profession. It is also ideal for those who desire a career in agricultural education. The curriculum is flexible in nature to allow for previous experience and specialization in a given area of agriculture. The program is unique in that most courses provide hands-on experiences designed to give the students a combination of practical skills and technical knowledge.

The Ph.D. in agricultural and environmental sciences program at N.C. A&T teaches students about the complexities of our global food system and how to adapt to emerging challenges around food, energy, and water. This program prepares individuals for successful careers as researchers, faculty, and entrepreneurs and to be active and effective leaders in academia and the agriculture industry in both the public and private sectors. Our doctoral graduates will confront the grand challenges of providing and sustaining a safe and healthy supply of food, fiber, and other products for a burgeoning global population.

The Master of Science "Agricultural & Food Data Management" is at the interface between high technology and agriculture & food. This ranges from the processing of data retrieved by connected objects such as drones, satellites, tablets, telephones, data on the behavior of players in a sector, to the management and analysis of massive data for decision support. By 2020, Big Data will be revolutionizing business, whether in management, R&D or marketing. The rapid development of digital technology is creating a new business for agriculture, and calling for new skills.

Get the basis for an international career in agricultural sciences: The international Master Program Crop Protection addresses the for mankind vital issues of crop health within sustainable crop production systems. The study program is research and practice oriented, international and multidisciplinary. It opens career chances in agricultural sciences and institutions, and in the agro-industries.

Wallace State's Agricultural Production and Sustainable Agriculture programs are designed to prepare students for various jobs in local agriculture, business, and industry. Students may find jobs in areas such as landscaping, forestry, aquaculture operations, conservation, and farming. Other potential opportunities include managing or owning a farm, greenhouse or nursery.

The master's program places an emphasis on developing students' knowledge and skills necessary for understanding and conducting research in a variety of scientific and professional areas. Our courses are intended for students of the Soil and Water teaching program as well as students specializing in environmental studies, agricultural production branches, horticulture, and field crops and vegetables.

The consecutive master's program "Integrated Plant and Animal Breeding" uses an interdisciplinary and research-oriented approach to convey the basic theories, methods, processes and issues of breeding in agricultural and forestry sciences. The primary goal of the course is to enable graduates to carry out in-depth scientific work. Students are qualified for international specialist and management tasks and specifically prepared for corresponding research activities related to foreign countries.

The PhD Programme in Agrobiodiversity is a four-year residential Course. It aims at the enhancement of human resource capacities in the utilisation and management of genetic variation in agricultural and natural systems, to improve the sustainability of agricultural systems and the conservation of genetic resources for the well-being of present and future generations.

Our planet is experiencing a decline in its non-renewable resources and is exposed to risks deriving from climate change. The agricultural sector must supply food, non-food products, ecosystemic services and energy, whilst guaranteeing safety and food sovereignty. Agriculture, Environment and Bioenergy is therefore essential to develop advanced training courses in order to achieve efficiency and sustainability in the agricultural sector and its various territorial contexts, taking into account the various elements of the production system and their organisation in agro-ecosystems.

This programme offers advanced training in sustainable mountain agriculture, with a focus on smart technologies, resource management and multifunctional agriculture. Through a multidisciplinary approach, it integrates agricultural, environmental and economic expertise to prepare professionals for the sustainability challenges of the sector.
