Programme Objectives:  

On successful completion of the programme, students should be able to:
1.    show understanding of production systems, productivity and propagation techniques;
2.    evaluate the influence of soil and climate on plant growth and production systems;
3.    evaluate the significance of weeds and identify management strategies for their control in production systems;

There are persons working in specialized areas of the plant sciences, some with a higher degree, who may desire or need to increase their knowledge in related areas in the plant sciences.  A programme leading to a Diploma in Plant Production would offer such an opportunity.

The required courses for this Diploma are courses already approved for the M.Sc. programme in Plant Production and Protection.

The programmes is offered by the Department of Life Sciences. For more information please see the following brochure.

M.Sc. i Agricultural Entrepreneurship

Programme Objectives:

On successful completion of the programme, students will be knowledgeable about the following:
1.    Production systems, productivity and propagation techniques;
2.    The influence of soil and climate on plant growth, production systems, and pest and disease development;
3.    The significance of weeds, diseases and pests in plant production systems;
4.    Management of weeds, diseases and pests;
techniques for evaluating the significance of various factors affecting plant production and productivity;

M.Phil. and Ph.D. Degrees
