Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences

Thanks to the unique combination of agricultural, nutritional and food sciences with geodesy, the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences (AEI) has ideal opportunities to develop the scientific basis for a sustainable supply of energy and food to meet demand and to support its implementation in practice.

For the AEI, top scientific qualifications and professional skills are equally important educational goals.

We meet the requirements of the job market with research-oriented Bachelor's and Master's degrees. [ read more ]¹

The two‑study-paper appears in the journal "Agribusiness" and is already available online.
