Why choose an agricultural degree?

Entering the world of agriculture requires appropriate substantive preparation. Completing vocational school, secondary school or higher education with an agricultural profile is a key step toward being able to legally conduct agricultural activities and obtain the necessary qualifications.

The applicable regulations, in accordance with the Act on Shaping the Agricultural System, clearly specify who may become the owner of an individual farm. A future farmer should:

  • hold ownership or lease rights to up to 300 hectares of agricultural land,
  • manage the farm independently,
  • have lived for at least 5 years in the municipality, where the farm is located,
  • possess the relevant agricultural qualifications.

Appropriate education not only opens the way to this type of business, but also increases the chances of success in various areas of modern agriculture.

Who can begin postgraduate agricultural studies?

Postgraduate studies are an ideal option for people who have completed a bachelor's or master's degree in any field and would like to change their career path. Regardless of whether your education is in the humanities, technology or economics, you can gain agricultural competences and begin a new professional adventure.

This programme may be of particular interest to:

  • people who want to develop their passion for agriculture professionally,
  • future owners of family farms,
  • entrepreneurs looking for new business opportunities,
  • anyone who wants to engage in crop or livestock production.

An additional advantage is that completing such studies often makes it possible to obtain the required qualifications without having to take a state examination.

What do agricultural programmes teach?

Agricultural studies cover a broad range of topics – from agricultural law and economics in the agribusiness sector, through agricultural product marketing, to modern crop-growing technologies. Participants gain knowledge of both crop and livestock production, environmental protection and agribusiness management.

Such comprehensive preparation means that graduates are ready to face the challenges of modern agriculture, effectively combining traditional cultivation methods with modern technologies and innovative solutions available on the market.
