BA/BS in Agronomia

The Agronomy programme trains Agricultural Engineers with a solid foundation in basic sciences and in the discipline. Graduates design, plan and manage agricultural and livestock production systems in a sustainable way, using knowledge and technology suited to the arid conditions of the region. The programme is offered by the Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources. Graduates are prepared to manage research and innovation projects and to use natural resources efficiently for food production. They can work in management, advisory and technical assistance roles in agricultural companies, independently or within an organisation, at regional and national level. Students learn to apply science to real production problems in the field. They also learn to plan production systems that use water and soil responsibly.
