Program Overview
The purpose of the "Agroclimatic Engineering" Master's programme is to train specialists capable of developing and implementing the state-of-the art approaches and technologies from evidence–based agroclimatology for monitoring, evaluating, modeling, forecasting, designing and expert support of solutions that promote sustainable management of natural resources.
The program is based on integrative, practice-oriented, interdisciplinary and integral approaches.
The integrative approach involves the synthesis of knowledge from the fields of agroclimatology, agroecology, remote sensing technologies, computer science and data analysis, management and engineering to solve pressing problems in the field of sustainable agricultural management in a changing climate.
The practice-oriented approach will be implemented through case-based and project-based training in close contact with employers in the context of an integrated scientific method. The combination of two approaches creates an environment of evidence-based innovation, fostering practical problem-solving by students.
Program Benefits
The program is interdisciplinary in nature, and its graduates have unique competencies combining knowledge and skills from different professional fields, which gives them a significant advantage in the labor market.
The teaching staff actively participates in major scientific projects aimed at creating breakthrough technologies to preserve natural resource potential and increase soil fertility, and thus to ensure national food security.
The research workshop is aimed at developing the research and problem-solving skills.
During one semester, students have an opportunity to study abroad at one of the partner universities and thus broaden their horizons and improve their intercultural communication skills.
Prospects. Career & Employment
The graduates will get a valuable experience and specific skills which will differentiate them in a competitive job market and prepare them to address complex climate challenges.
Why is it important to pursue a higher education?
Agroclimatology plays a key role in the planning and development of sustainable agriculture. The study of agroclimatology is important at the present stage for the adaptation of agriculture to climate change, forecasting yields, optimizing the choice of crops, as well as for the development of early warning systems for adverse weather events and plant protection measures. Understanding climate patterns makes it possible to increase the sustainability of food systems and ensure food security in the face of global climate challenges.
