6 Agricultural Engineering Course Programs

AGROECOLOGY 26 intends to introduce students to the complex and multifaceted world of agroecology through a transdisciplinary approach, enabling them to acquire basic knowledge and awareness of the importance of the interactions between agro-environmental and socio-economic components as the foundation of the dynamics of transformation of agro-food systems towards true sustainability, and to understand how and why the agro-ecological approach can provide concrete solutions to the great challenges of our time.

UTP Stage II: Agricultural and Food Sciences is equivalent to the first year of a bachelor’s degree from the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences.

This convenient course is an ideal starting point for those students with few formal qualifications.

Our agriculture program just last year celebrated its 50th year of sending qualified graduates into the field.

With over 150,000 businesses, the Agriculture & Horticulture industries form the vital starting point for both the food and landscaping industries which account for over 14% of the British GDP. As a result, they offer exciting and varied careers in the UK and abroad. The industry provides unique opportunities for people to work in a technically advanced and innovative environment. Businesses within the industry range from small enterprises through to international organisations. Work in soil-based systems involves operating large, technically advanced machinery in the open fields. Working outdoors, means there is variety and challenges to overcome. Similarly, employees working in container-based systems may work outside but for many most of the work will be in controlled environments, which need monitoring and adapting to suit the growth stage/species growing.

The purpose of this qualification is to develop the transferable skills, attributes, and behaviours needed for you to progress to further study and ultimately to employment.
