Agricultural Sciences (B.Sc.)

The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences with its broad and diverse range of more than 30 scientific institutions - divided into the Departments of Animal Sciences, Crop Sciences and Agricultural Economics and Rural Development - offers a wide range of study fields and specialisations.

Due to the modularisation of the programme, it is possible to choose one of the study specialisations already after the third semester.

The modularisation has the following advantages:

• one-semester courses
• tests at the end of each module
• continuous monitoring of performance by determining the current grade average point

The successful completion of our programmes lead to the internationally recognised Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree.

In the Bachelor's programme, one of five specialisations is eligible after the third semester (agribusiness, crop science, animal sciences, resource management or economic and social sciences of agriculture).

In addition to the lectures, there are various tutorials in which students can deepen their knowledge of specific topics in smaller study groups. For example, the module "Practical course in anatomy and physiology of livestock" in the first semester, where students can dissect tissues and organs on their own.

Working groups, which are organised by students, offer the opportunity to participate in interesting excursions as well as attend interesting lectures by external lecturers and provide the opportunity to get actively involved:

• Dairy Industry
• Arable farming
• Horse
• Pig
• International Affairs

In addition to studying at a renowned agricultural science faculty, the city itself offers many amenities that speak for Göttingen. Due to the large proportion of students in the total population, the city also lives from the University.

Various cultural activities for young people as well as pubs, green spaces and an excellent range of University sports activities make it possible for students to develop not only professionally, but also personally and to socialize and make many new contacts, also with students from other countries. In addition, there is a wide range of dedicated university groups on many different topics.
