About the Program
The Master of Science program Crop Science covers basic aspects of the production of high-quality plant-based feeds, foods and renewable raw materials and explores the larger picture of how all these aspects all fit together, also considering the national and international levels. This is a research-oriented degree program that aims to provide students with in-depth knowledge, theoretical and methodological competence, and knowledge of the processes needed to conduct autonomous and innovative research in crop science (food, feed and resources). Thematic priorities in Bonn include general ecological and production-technological conditions as well as resource conservation in the production of plant-based food, feed and renewable raw materials. Other central content includes molecular aspects of crop sciences and sensor-based recognition of plant and soil conditions as the basis for plant breeding or precision agriculture methods.
