BA/BS in Agronomia

The Agronomy programme at Universidad de Aysen, run by the Department of Natural Sciences and Technology, prepares graduates to design sustainable solutions to complex problems affecting development. The focus is on improving quality of life through sustainable production and the conservation and recovery of ecosystems, within an ethical framework of social responsibility. The programme runs for ten semesters. Students learn to design socially integrated responses for protecting natural resources, to manage water and agricultural production in a framework of environmental sustainability, and to carry out silvoagricultural projects that connect with local communities. Graduates are equipped to design and implement local production models that take environmental vulnerability and changing climate patterns into account, backed by a scientific and technological training.
