The international Summer School on Agriculture, Forest and Environmental geodata Statistical analysis, modelling and machine learning [SAFEST] will provide theoretical and practical teaching on the statistical methods and tools for geodata handling and analysis, with special emphasis to soil traits, crop yield or plant biomass in the agricultural, forest and other land uses under variable management and environmental conditions. Methods provided will be tailored to a wide range of scales, from plot to landscape to regional scales.

Exchange students, join our Engineering Programme ! Our programme prepares students to occupy managing positions in professional organizations, public institutions, companies and laboratories of the agriculture and food sectors.

Sustainable International Agriculture (SIA) is a joint study programme of the agricultural faculties of the University of Göttingen and the University of Kassel-Witzenhausen. This Joint degree is for students who want to contribute to a sustainable development of agriculture worldwide.

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.

The international School on “Framing Livestock and Agriculture Innovation, Resilience and Sustainability (FLAIRS)” will provide theoretical and practical training on the definition, framing, and dissection of the environmental and economic sustainability (with some hints on the social aspects) in agri-livestock systems and its value chain.

The participation of directors from different countries provides global training and allows access to technical, bibliographical and human resources.

A Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in Horticulture Science provides expertise in plant cultivation, breeding, and landscape management, enabling graduates to enhance crop quality, sustainability, and aesthetic value. This qualification supports innovation in food production and environmental conservation.

A Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in Crop Science equips students with knowledge of plant genetics, soil science, and crop management, enabling them to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability. Graduates play a vital role in addressing global food security and advancing modern farming practices.

A Bachelor of Science Agriculture in Livestock and Pasture focuses on animal science and sustainable pasture management. It enhances understanding of livestock health, nutrition, and environmental balance. This degree equips individuals to address challenges in animal agriculture and resource use.

A Bachelor of Agriculture offers a deep understanding of agricultural science, fostering critical thinking in food production and sustainability. It prepares individuals to address global agricultural challenges.

How can we sustainably feed, clothe, and provide energy to more people using less land and fewer inputs? The Tropical Agriculture and the Environment (TAE) program focuses on creating solutions to answer this question and more. TAE as a STEM program, encompasses various fields and utilizes an interdisciplinary approach to address current and future challenges.

A Doctor of Agriculture in Pasture Science provides an in-depth, theoretical understanding of the ecological, biological, and environmental factors that influence pasture growth, management, and sustainability. This degree equips scholars with advanced knowledge of plant biology, soil science, and animal grazing behavior, allowing them to explore the complex dynamics between pastures, livestock, and ecosystems.

The doctoral study program Veterinary Public Health, Forensic Veterinary Medicine and Toxicology is an academically focused study program, corresponding to the current state and level of science and the needs of practice in Europe. Graduates of the doctoral study Veterinary Public Health, Forensic Veterinary Medicine and Toxicology gained in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired through independent creative activity and the acquisition of new scientific knowledge in the field of study. Graduates can actively share their knowledge in the field of study at the international level and publicly. Based on this qualification, graduates are mainly employed at research institutions and universities.

The aim of this course is to produce graduates with knowledge and skills in agriculture with a focus on sustainability. While the course provides the students with a sound theoretical basis for understanding complex agricultural and environmental phenomena within a sustainable development context, its focus is on the practical application of knowledge and skills including agri‑business and on‑farm settings.

A Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in Animal Production provides a strong foundation in animal genetics, nutrition, and health, helping to optimize livestock farming for improved productivity and sustainability. Graduates contribute to advancing food security, animal welfare, and the efficiency of agricultural systems.

Cellular agriculture seeks to advance tissue engineering for the production of affordable, nutritious, protein-rich foods. Researchers and manufacturers translate cellular agriculture research into food industry innovation that has positive environmental and societal benefits. The interdisciplinary program is administered by the Department of Biomedical Engineering with collaboration from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering, the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine.

The Master of Science in Agrifood Sustainability provides a preparation in agricultural sciences and technologies, through a multidisciplinary vision, aimed at achieving high production, attentive to the health of the environment, agricultural producers and consumers, focusing on sustainability.
