Program Overview

The ‘Soil-Water’ degree program in the Agronomic Sciences branch provides students with theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of soil and water in relation to the plant, which constitutes basic training for the various agronomy options. This degree aims to provide students with a scientific education that encompasses:

·     Aspects of agronomic sciences as a whole.

·     The environment (climatic hazards, soil resources, water resources, crops, etc.).

 

This training requires a logically interdisciplinary approach and the acquisition of diverse and modern skills relating to water, soil and plants. This Bachelor's degree therefore offers a fairly generalist education, backed up by a range of modules tailored to the agronomic sciences. This makes it easy for students to move on to other specialties within the agronomy pathway. The Soil - Soil academic degree provides students with theoretical and practical knowledge of water and soil in relation to plants.

 This program offers taught subjects that help students to:

·        Master modern water management techniques in agriculture.

·        Understand the interactions between the soil-water-atmosphere-plant complex.

·        Integrate remote sensing, GIS, modelling and artificial intelligence tools into the management of natural resources (soil & water).
