- Description/content
- Robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalisation in general will help solve global challenges in agriculture, such as increasing resource efficiency, improving sustainability and animal welfare, and reducing the labour. The MSc Digital Farming prepares you systematically for these challenges of modern agriculture. It combines agricultural science and technical knowledge with an application-oriented specialisation in AI, robotics and digitalisation as well as their implementation in agriculture. The programme's international focus gives you direct exposure to the global agricultural industry and intercultural skills.
Both the skills for a fast-growing future market and the soft skills will open up a wide range of career prospects. The degree programme at Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences qualifies you for specialist and management positions in the fields of research and development, product management, marketing and sales. Other opportunities include agricultural consultancy, start-up and agri-tech companies, public administration and international organisations.
The Digital Farming degree is managed by the Department of Sustainable Agricultural and Energy Systems and is taught by both agricultural and technological experts. This means that you will study a wide range of modules and benefit from different areas of expertise.
