Agricultural & Food Sciences

The agriculture degree programs are designed to both provide students with the skills needed for a professional career in the agriculture and food industry and the necessary educational background for further studies at the graduate level. Degree students begin their studies within University 1 prior to entering the Faculty of Agriculture.

The two-year Agriculture Diploma combines academic study in the agricultural sciences with practical activities and projects in a wide range of agricultural subjects. Students learn to use this knowledge to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of a variety of alternative agricultural practices.
