B.Sc. Hons. in Agriculture is normally a 4-year undergraduate program that equips students with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in agricultural sciences. The curriculum includes crop science, soil science, animal husbandry, agricultural economics, plant pathology, and agricultural engineering. Students learn about sustainable farming practices, agricultural biotechnology, and farm management. The program frequently incorporates laboratory work, field trips, and internships to give students hands-on experience. Graduates prepare to face global concerns in food security, sustainable agriculture, and environmental conservation.

M.Sc. in Agronomy is a 2-year postgraduate program that studies agricultural production science and technology, as well as soil management. This advanced degree provides students with a thorough understanding of plant genetics, soil science, crop physiology, and sustainable agriculture techniques. Advanced plant breeding, precision agriculture, pest management, and agricultural biotechnology are common topics included in the curriculum. Students also participate in research projects and fieldwork, bringing theoretical concepts to real-world agricultural problems. This degree prepares graduates for employment in agricultural research, crop consulting, farm management, or positions in government agencies and international organizations concerned with food security and sustainable agriculture.

M.Sc. in Genetics & Plant Breeding is a 2-year postgraduate degree that integrates genetics research with hands-on plant breeding experience. This multidisciplinary course focuses on understanding the genetic basis of plant features and applying that knowledge to create improved crop varieties. Students get knowledge of classical and molecular genetics, cytogenetics, biotechnology, and statistical methods in plant breeding. The curriculum frequently covers topics such as genetics, bioinformatics, crop improvement tactics, and plant pathology. Practical training entails fieldwork, laboratory experimentation, and research projects. Graduates are prepared to work in agricultural research institutions, seed corporations, and biotechnology firms, or further their education in plant science and agriculture.
