- PRECISION AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY
The study programme Precision Agriculture and Forestry is an interdisciplinary programme developed in cooperation with the Technical University in Zvolen, integrating expertise in agriculture, forestry, mechanical engineering, and information technologies. It is focused on the education of professionals capable of managing agricultural and forestry enterprises through intelligent tools of precision management.
Emphasis is placed on geoinformatics, the acquisition, processing, and analysis of geospatial data, and their application in spatial decision-making and the optimisation of production processes. The programme combines knowledge from photogrammetry, remote sensing, sensor systems, and unmanned technologies with the principles of sustainable management of natural resources.
It responds to the challenges of climate change, biodiversity conservation, and the need to increase production efficiency while reducing environmental impacts. Graduates are prepared to apply precise digital technologies in the planning, modelling, and management of agricultural and forestry production.
