Agrolog (YH), Bioekonomi, h24: Planering 2024
Code: DAG24A-H-BE
Descriptions
The goal of the Bachelor of Natural Resources education is to provide students with a broad and practically and theoretically well-established higher agricultural education, where both science and sustainability principles as well as UN's global goals according to Agenda 2030 constitute an important foundation.
Central to the studies are knowledge of planning processes, production in agriculture's various subject areas (plant cultivation, animal husbandry, economics, agricultural technology and forestry) as well as sustainable use of natural resources. Agrology students learn to understand the interactive interplay between cultivation, environment and society.
Agrology students participate in versatile studies that emphasize biological, technical, economic, social and culturally sustainable conditions for agriculture. Theoretical studies are combined with practical exercises in the field, in the forest, farm based training and internships.
Development
The curriculum is updated regularly to respond to the needs of the business community and the society. The Agrologist’s core competencies are identified in a broad network of collaborations between the business community and the universities of applied sciences that educate forestry engineers.
Parts of the studies are carried out in project form or in other direct interaction with the business community, for example through collaboration with various industry companies and industry organizations, study visits and expert lectures, which promotes versatile career- and alumni contacts for Agrology students.
The education program collaborates with farms with different production orientations as well as cultivation and animal husbandry systems throughout Finland. Västankvarn training and experimental farm in Ingå, with modern facilities for dairy milk production and a very extensive field trial activity under the direction of the regional advisory organization, Nylands Svenska Lantbrukssällskap, offers excellent study and internship opportunities.
The agrology education has a well-established, broad and very extensive network of internships in the agricultural industries throughout Finland and in the Nordic countries. Joint courses in the field of bioeconomics together with forestry students and international students strengthen the agrology students' broad base and network in the nature management sector.
