Summary of the Profile
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To train specialists capable of applying advanced agricultural technologies, analyzing and evaluating the environmental impact of agribusiness systems, and developing sustainable and competitive agribusiness strategies that ensure efficient resource use and social responsibility.
Learning outcomes:
Explain the biological characteristics of plants, patterns of development, growing conditions, the importance of maintaining soil fertility, and plant nutritional requirements; Describe the biological and economic characteristics, housing, welfare, and feeding technologies of different farm animal species; Apply digital technologies and automation systems to ensure efficiency and quality in agribusiness technologies. Apply theoretical knowledge and models from the social sciences in professional activities and use digital tools for data collection and interpretation; Analyze and evaluate farm data, apply the results of data analysis for decision-making and activity planning; Use data analysis and artificial intelligence tools for more efficient and evidence-based decision-making in agribusiness technologies; Use scientific literature, guidelines, and legal acts by employing digital information management and analysis tools; Select innovative plant and animal production technologies adapted to various farming systems that preserve natural resources and biodiversity; Use advanced digital tools and automation solutions to optimize resource use and increase operational efficiency; Use computer-based farm management systems for data acquisition, storage, processing, analysis, and application in farm activity planning; Evaluate the processes and outcomes of agricultural business operations and to select marketing strategies and models for agricultural products; Plan, organize, and control the activities of agricultural entities, manage agricultural production processes, and identify appropriate sources of financing, credit instruments, and investment projects. Communicate and collaborate in various communication situations, express thoughts and reasoned arguments during consultations, and use digital communication tools; Formulate problems and objectives, and make rational, evidence-based decisions using data analysis software; Work independently and in teams, solve problems, make managerial decisions, and provide proposals for managing agricultural businesses.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Practical and laboratory work (working with agricultural technologies, sensors, drones, data collection, food quality testing, soil analysis). Interactive lectures and seminars (agribusiness management, digital innovations, agricultural economics; case studies). Applied research and project-based activities (monitoring of crop productivity; projects oriented towards solving real-life problems). Professional practice in agribusiness companies. Digital simulators and software tools (GIS – Geographic Information Systems, smart farm management system modeling, data analysis). Virtual learning environment – Moodle. Lectures by guest speakers.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Cumulative assessment is applied. Certain learning outcomes specified in the study course program are assessed through the components of cumulative assessment. Each subject concludes with an examination or the evaluation of
an independently completed student assignment (project). The final grade is composed of the components of cumulative assessment specified in the course program (e.g., interim assessments, independent assignments, examination), with their respective weightings defined in the study course program.

Distinctive features of a study programme:
The study program combines knowledge of advanced technologies, digital management, and agribusiness processes, enabling students to gain a broader and more holistic understanding of innovations in the sector. Emphasis is placed on advanced digital technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and geographic information systems (GIS), which enable more efficient management of agricultural activities. The curriculum covers technological, business, and digital aspects, with significant attention given to opportunities for sustainable agricultural development and the implementation of innovations aimed at increasing farm competitiveness and ecological sustainability. The program equips students to become more adaptable and capable of solving complex problems, fosters innovative thinking, and develops entrepreneurial skills essential for modern agriculture.
Access to professional activity or further study:
Access to professional activity:
Graduates will be able to work in international agribusiness structures, in governmental and non-governmental organizations related to agriculture, in agribusiness companies, agricultural advisory institutions, or develop their own business. They will be qualified to take on managerial roles in agricultural technology by implementing advanced technologies, automation, and digital solutions on farms. They may also work as digital agribusiness project managers—coordinating an innovative projects related to the digitalization of agriculture—as agricultural technology consultants, or as agronomists providing advice and solutions for farm modernization.
Access to further study:
Graduates can apply for second-cycle (Master’s) studies according to the procedures established by the higher education institution. Possible areas of study include agricultural technologies, innovation management, digital technologies, or other related fields. Doctoral studies in applied or scientific fields are also an option for those seeking to deepen their knowledge and develop new solutions for the agricultural sector.
