Bachelor's degree in Agronomic Science Engineering

Barcelona School of Agri-Food and Biosystems Engineering (EEABB)

On the bachelor's degree in Agronomic Science Engineering (which merges the content that had until now been taught on the bachelor's degrees in Agricultural Engineering and Agricultural, Environmental and Landscape Engineering), you will acquire the scientific and technological knowledge to design, plan, supervise and manage processes related to agricultural and livestock production; food quality control and safety mechanisms; the economic viability of farming companies; actions for environmental and landscape preservation and improvement; spatial planning; and fruit and vegetable production.

You can choose between two majors:

Horticulture and Gardening. You will receive multidisciplinary training in areas such as environmental management systems; water use; landscape design; implementation of green spaces; ecosystems and biodiversity; fruit and vegetable production; and plant propagation and nursery techniques. You will also learn the fundamentals of engineering technology, which will enable you to design green spaces and carry out environmental conservation and improvement, landscaping and fruit and vegetable production projects.

Agricultural Production. You will receive training in animal health, nutrition and welfare; livestock production systems; extensive farming and fruit and vegetable production; irrigation technology; agricultural machinery and buildings; crop protection; waste management; agroecology; and organic food production.
