Teaching methods

Studying at his course is based on various learning methods: contact lectures, an independent scheduled learning, a study trip, a business presentations, testing activities and promoting students' own assignments.

Student might choose to focus on his/her own AgriBusiness- plan with some of the technology related assignments.

Employer connections

This course includes business presentations and a study trip to a bioeconomy expo. This study trip is planned to be excursion to Germany and AgriTechnica-expo (self-funded) but you can replace this with your own event participation if you wish.

Exam schedules

No exam, grading is based on assignments.

Completion alternatives

The course or part of it can be completed on the basis of previous competence or by studying in working life.

Student workload

Contact lectures 20 h, study trip 20 h, independent studying 95 h.
