The study programme combines engineering, operation, and modern technologies in the agro‑sector. It focuses on understanding the design and functional principles of agricultural machinery as well as on managing production systems, logistics, and work organisation. Graduates acquire a strong technical foundation, which they integrate with specialised knowledge of biosystems and agricultural production. They are able to design technical solutions, plan processes, and efficiently manage machinery operation. Thanks to its interdisciplinary approach, the programme prepares graduates to work in design, technical, and operational roles within enterprises.

GRADUATE EMPLOYABILITY

The study programme focuses on the technical and operational aspects of agricultural machinery and equipment, preparing graduates for positions related to their management, operation, procurement, and logistics.

The key objective of the programme is for graduates to master two inseparable areas: on one hand, the functional principles and design of machinery, and on the other hand, production systems, management, and work organisation. Completing technically oriented courses provides students with exactly the knowledge needed to find employment in companies specialising in operational, logistical, and technical services within the agro‑sector.
