The M.Sc. in Tropical Agriculture is a two year full time programme, which explores the potential to achieve goals of stakeholders in the agriculture sector in tropical regions by providing production-oriented training. The candidates would complete a well designed programme on tropical agricultural systems, with a major focus on the key crops, livestock and environmental issues. The first two semesters of the programme consists of lectures, field and farm visits. Students will also be exposed to Agriculture in dry areas by providing field practical training. During this period students will have opportunity to work with farm families in the dry environments, work with government officers directly involved in agricultural development in these regions and have hands-on experience where they can put theory into practice. Students are expected to undertake a research project based on their area of specialization during the second year. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduate students, especially, non agricultural or foreign graduates to become open minded, well-trained professionals in sustainable agricultural land use of integrated tropical agro-ecosystems.
