BSc Degree in Agricultural Science and Engineering

  


The Agricultural Science and Engineering graduate will acquire the tools and the capacity to develop, design and execute agronomic engineering projects related with animal and crop production, rural buildings and facilities, agricultural mechanization, electrification, and irrigation. All this focused on achieving higher productivity and efficacy, greater economic benefit, improvement in human wellbeing in rural areas with a minimum impact on the environment, through the design and development of agricultural policies.


There are multiple professional opportunities for the Graduate in Agricultural Science and Engineering, both in the private or public sector, with the principle tasks being:

  • Training and evaluation of agricultural projects.
  • Plan and apply for agrarian jobs in crop handling.
  • Estimate the hydraulic requirements of crops and to plan the strategies to design the irrigation and drainage networks in the agricultural unit.
  • Research in agricultural science and engineering.
  • Rural extension and technology transfer.
  • Design and develop agricultural loans and insurance.
  • Design and restore historic gardens and regenerate green spaces.
  • Agricultural companies’ analysis and diagnosis of physical, social, economic, and financial situation.
  • Management of administrative procedures and farm legislation related to the decision making in agricultural products and property law.

The design of Agricultural Science and Engineering Degree facilitates the student’s mobility and external traineeship both in private companies or research groups. This degree has a duration of four years (240 credits), organized in semesters. Students can take one of four study paths:

  • Crop production
  • Animal production
  • Agricultural Economics and business
  • Rural Engineering
