Goals
This Master Degree aims to train graduates in the agricultural field with comprehensive technological skills and coordinated methods. As a result, they can implement and transfer precision agriculture to the productive sector. Thus, the master's degree will train professionals familiar with new technologies applied to agriculture to modernise the agricultural sector.
Students will learn the following:
- Digital tools: modelling, data analysis, programming, decision support systems, Artificial Intelligence, cloud services.
- Technologies: sensory, electronics, remote sensing, positioning systems, mechatronics, state-of-the-art machinery, agricultural robotics, remote crop monitoring systems.
- Applications to farm production: arable crops, woody crops, soil management, livestock farming, sustainability.
Due to this multidisciplinary education, graduates will have an academic profile oriented towards scientific and technological training with the ability to handle a wide variety of technical and scientific problems, especially in the agricultural area, but also in other fields of engineering, enhancing their options for personal development.
Target group
The MSc Degree in Precision Agriculture is aimed at graduates in Agricultural Engineering, or related undergraduate degrees (agricultural sciences, food engineering, environmental engineering, forest engineering). In the case of related undergraduate degrees, additional training may be required.
