Sticky Background

DIGITAL AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIES

About study programme

The goal of the study program Digital Agriculture Technologies is the modernization of agricultural production through the education of professional agricultural engineers with theoretical and practical knowledge in information and communication technologies. The study program enables the understanding and development of digital technologies in basic biotechnology and animal production. The program concept is focused on permanent collaboration with industrial and social organizations in the field of agricultural production and the improvement of production processes. Students acquire comprehensive knowledge in the fields of information technology, automation, and mechatronics in the context of agriculture. After completing their studies, they can be employed in agricultural companies where they will implement innovative methods, work on remote sensing, detection, data analysis, and modeling. They will be competent to independently organize and coordinate tasks in modern, profitable, and sustainable agriculture as engineering professionals, advisors, and educators.

The entrance exam includes a general education test or a math test. For information on the entrance exam, see here.
