Licence en Technologie Agricole avec Stages Professionnels

The agricultural industry is undergoing an unprecedented period of change. Traditional reliance on production is being challenged through changes in government policy at local, national, European, and global levels, as well as changes in consumer demand.

Agricultural production now requires an understanding of these demands and other concerns regarding food quality and safety and the environmental impact of production methods in the short, medium, and long term.

The Agricultural Technology degree programs enable graduates to gain an understanding of:

• Crop and animal production systems for the sustainability of the agricultural industry, including the underpinning scientific, economic, and business principles and the applicability of recent developments
• The impact of global, EU, and regional policy on the agricultural industry
• Assessing agri-environment interactions and devising environmental management strategies
• Managing agriculture as a business
• A professional approach to the work environment, study, and life-long learning
• Devising, managing, and evaluating project work

Additionally, the Agricultural Technology with Professional Studies Programme enables graduates to gain an understanding of the application of their degree to the workplace and career management planning.
