Inaugural cohort
— The academic architecture of the next five years
From scientific fundamentals to an original master's thesis.
— Year 01
Foundations
Core sciences across both Schools — calculus, chemistry, biology, the social context of food systems.
— Year 02
Disciplinary depth
Plant and animal production, food chemistry, soil science, microbiology. Lab rotations begin.
— Year 03
Integration
Where Agriculture meets Chemistry — digital systems, food biotechnology, water and irrigation, controlled environments.
— Year 04
Specialisation & research
Applied specialism — oenology, vegetable production, geoinformatics, organic agriculture. Active research lab integration.
— Year 05
Master's thesis
A substantial original research project — supervised within the programme research network and culminating in oral defence.
— Curriculum architecture
Six substantive areas — taught as one integrated science of the agri-food system.
— Pillar 01
Plant & animal production
Climate-resilient crops, precision agriculture, livestock and aquaculture systems, viticulture and arboriculture. Built on the working agricultural environment of the AUTh farm.
