      Agricultural production degrees abroad

      Agricultural production professionals are responsible for satisfying the world’s increasing appetite for crops and livestock.

      You’ll learn about every aspect of agricultural production, from plant breeding and animal husbandry, to supply chains and marketing. You’ll understand how to anticipate and overcome risks so that production remains safe, successful, and sustainable.

      Agriculture is a fast-paced and diverse industry. Studying abroad will put you at the forefront of new discoveries and developments in the sector. You’ll also appreciate the geographical, environmental, and economic challenges faced by farmers around the world.

      Agricultural production program structure

      You can study agricultural production at various undergraduate and graduate levels. Two-year associate degrees are the perfect preparation for entry-level careers in agribusiness, or you could transfer your credits onto a bachelor’s course.

      Bachelor’s degrees take three or four years to complete, depending on your choice of country and university. Lots of courses include a 12-month placement between your second and final years of study. These are a great way to apply what you’ve learned and build professional connections.

      If you’re still hungry to learn more, postgraduate programs are available. Master’s degrees generally take one year of full-time study, or two years if you’re in part-time education. PhDs require at least four years of study, but they can last up to six or seven years.

      You’ll experience a variety of teaching methods, including lectures, workshops, labs, and practical sessions. You’ll also benefit from field trips and guest lectures from industry professionals.

      Every agricultural production course will be structured slightly differently, but here are some core topics you’ll cover:

      • Crop production
      • Livestock science and husbandry
      • Sustainable agriculture
      • Soil management
      • Agronomy
      • Supply chain management
      • Agricultural economics and markets
