About this program
The master’s program Agrosystem Sciences deals with systems of agricultural production, their biological, technical, and economic drivers and their integration within agro-ecosystems. This research-oriented program allows students to develop an individual profile of knowledge and competencies. Agriculture is a pillar of modern civilization, an important cultural asset and a key economic driver. At the TUM School of Life Sciences Weihenstephan, we believe that solid academic training and research in this field are necessary to provide for the lasting future of human kind. The Master’s program Agrosystem Sciences deals with agricultural production systems (e.g. plant and livestock production) as well as with interactions between soils, crops, livestock, the environment and society. As such, the program prepares graduates to solve the challenges of the future, in particular, those in the areas of food production, renewable resources, the environment and climate. The Master’s program Agrosystem Sciences qualifies agricultural scientists who understand scientific, societal, and global challenges on the path to sustainable agriculture. Graduates possess knowledge of the biological, socioeconomic, and technological aspects of Agrosystem Sciences, including their interactions. They are also familiar with the sustainable use of natural production factors necessary for the production of food and biogenic resources. The program’s flexibility allows graduates to develop highly individual and interdisciplinary expertise in the field of Agrosystem Sciences. Depending on their choice of electives and research projects, graduates acquire discipline-specific knowledge in the breeding and biotechnological development of cultivated plants, the primary production of foods from animal sources, the biological, ecological, and technical analysis and management of agricultural ecosystems, as well as the integration of innovations in the agricultural sciences. Initial research experience enables graduates to apply interdisciplinary methods that embrace biology, the interface between the natural sciences and technology, and socioeconomic fields. Graduates are conscious of their social responsibility and take into consideration how their actions relate to resource efficiency, environmental protection, animal welfare, and food security.
