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 Agricultural Microbiology is a 2-year postgraduate program designed to explore the role of microorganisms in agriculture and their applications in enhancing crop productivity, soil health, and sustainable farming practices. The curriculum includes advanced topics such as microbial genetics, soil microbiology, biofertilizers, biopesticides, and plant-microbe interactions. Students gain practical expertise through laboratory research, field studies, and internships, enabling them to understand and harness microbial processes for agricultural development. Graduates can pursue careers in agricultural research institutions, biotechnology firms, food and beverage industries, or work as consultants in sustainable agriculture. This program is ideal for students passionate about microbiology and its role in addressing global challenges like food security and environmental sustainability.

 M.Sc. in Agriculture-Bioinformatics is a specialized postgraduate program designed to combine the principles of agriculture with cutting-edge bioinformatics techniques. This course, typically spanning 2 years, provides students with an in-depth understanding of agricultural science, data analysis, and computational biology. The curriculum covers topics such as plant genomics, crop modeling, bioinformatics tools, and data mining, alongside hands-on training in laboratory and field settings. Students are equipped with the skills necessary to address challenges in agriculture using modern bioinformatics approaches, from genetic research to improving crop yields. Graduates of this program are prepared for roles in research, agricultural biotechnology, and data-driven agricultural solutions. The course duration is generally 2 years, and eligibility usually includes a relevant undergraduate degree in agriculture, biology, or bioinformatics.
