ABOUT FACULTY The Faculty of Agriculture emphasizes the development of human resources in the agricultural sector to become knowledgeable, skilled, and highly competent individuals capable of working in a rapidly changing agricultural field driven by advancements in science and technology. It aims to shift from traditional agriculture practices to a modern agriculture approach that focuses on effective management and the utilization of IoT technology to enhance the value of agricultural businesses through high-quality agricultural production for work placements and studying abroad.
The BSc Agriculture degree is designed to prepare students for impactful careers in the agriculture sector. It focuses on the scientific principles and technological advancements that form the foundation of agricultural production and sustainability. Within the BSc Agriculture program, students have the option to specialize in one of our pathways: ACADEMIC
Plant Science Students gain knowledge and skills to address challenges in plant cultivation, optimize yield, and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices.
Plant Science This pathway delves into the study of plant biology, genetics, crop production, and plant protection.
This pathway focuses on the study of animal physiology, nutrition, reproduction, and welfare. Animal Science
Animal Science Students explore various aspects of animal production, health management, and sustainable livestock systems, preparing them for careers in animal agriculture.
Aquaculture This pathway centers around the study of aquatic organisms, their biology, reproduction, nutrition, and management. Students learn about sustainable aquaculture practices, including fish farming, shellfish cultivation, and aquatic ecosystem management.
Agricultural Product Processing: This pathway explores the post-harvest aspects of agricultural production. Students gain knowledge in food processing, preservation techniques, quality control, and valueadded product development. This specialization equips students with skills relevant to the agri-food industry and entrepreneurship in agricultural product processing.
By offering these pathways, our BSc Agriculture program allows students to focus their studies on their specific areas of interest and career aspirations within the broader field of agriculture.
The Master's program in Agricultural Technology and Innovation Focuses on research-based learning to develop graduates who are skilled researchers and professionals. The program aims to generate new knowledge, foster the application of technology and innovation, and drive business development. Through this approach, graduates are equipped to contribute to the advancement of agriculture, promote high-quality practices, and create valueadded solutions that maximize efficiency and productivity in the agricultural sector.
Short course or Non-Degree The program is designed to integrate academic and professional knowledge, creating opportunities for students of all genders and ages to learn through practical, real-world work experiences that align with market demands. Additionally, it aims to provide lifelong learning opportunities to enhance career prospects for working individuals. There are nine programs 1. Smart Farming System for Plant production 2.

OUR RESEARCH The faculty of Agriculture conducts research that is motivated by the critical global challenges of our time. The focus of our research closely aligns with the principles and goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, aiming to contribute to sustainable solutions for the future. In a constantly evolving world, we encounter various global challenges like poverty, hunger, climate change, and environmental issues, which are intricately connected to agricultural and food systems. Our research endeavors are dedicated to tackling these challenges and offering policymakers well-founded scientific evidence to make informed and impactful decisions.
PLANT AND CROP SCIENCE The faculty's research team covers a diverse array of disciplines within the natural sciences. The research conducted within the faculty is structured around five primary themes. Researchers in plant and crop science cover a wide range of areas within plant sciences, spanning from molecular to applied science. Their efforts contribute to a deeper understanding of plants and their impact on the environment. Our research initiatives encompass diverse fields, including agronomy and plant nutrition, entomology, pathology, as well as biotechnology and physiology. Additionally, we delve into ecology, plant breeding, genetics, and genomics, aiming to address these challenges and pave the way for sustainable solutions.
ANIMAL SCIENCE Animal science researchers are dedicated to addressing urgent challenges in order to enhance the productivity and welfare of livestock and other animals while maintaining the sustainability of animal production systems. In response to these challenges, researchers are actively developing inventive solutions that encompass all facets of animal production. This includes exploring areas such as reproduction, parasitology, and meat science to improve animal production systems and ensure the wellbeing of the animals involved.
AQUACULTURE The escalating need to support a rapidly expanding global population has created substantial strain on both farmed marine and fresh aquatic stocks. In response to this pressing challenge, aquaculture facilities are diligently striving to safeguard the health and robustness of aquatic stocks, bolstering their disease resistance, and implementing strategies that reduce any adverse effects on the local environment. Our research delves into essential areas of investigation within aquaculture, covering a wide range of aspects related to the cultivation of aquatic species. These include breeding and selection, nutritional and dietary requirements, the impact of environmental conditions on growth, the effects of fish farming on the aquatic environment, and the wellbeing of farmed aquatic species. Each of these components plays a crucial role in fostering sustainable and ethically sound practices in aquaculture.
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT PROCESSING Research in agricultural product processing is of utmost importance in tackling the ever-changing challenges of the contemporary world by providing solutions that have positive impacts on both people and the environment. Our team of researchers specializes in various fields, including food chemistry, food microbiology, food processing, food structure and sensory analysis, food material science and engineering, and nutrition.
AREA-BASED DEVELOPMENT THROUGH AGRICULTURE This research is an approach to development that centers on using agriculture as a strategic tool to promote sustainable and inclusive growth in specific geographical areas. It involves harnessing the potential of agriculture to create economic opportunities, enhance food security, alleviate poverty, and improve overall livelihoods in the targeted regions.
