Introduction and objectives
The Master's Degree in Agricultural Engineering (MUIA) qualifies students to exercise the profession of Agricultural Engineer. At the same time, the Master's Degree in Vegetable Health and Production (MUSPV) is oriented towards acquiring competencies in agricultural health and production technologies. The syllabus of both degrees has a multidisciplinary academic orientation that includes both professional and research aspects.
The double degree allows students to acquire the competencies of both master's degrees through an integrated academic pathway. All of this is done at a lower time and at a lower financial cost than obtaining both degrees individually. Thus, a MUIA student, instead of taking the 120 ECTS of the MUIA and the 60 ECTS of the MUSPV, only takes a total of 133 ECTS.
Master's structure
- 1st year (60 ECTS): coincides precisely with the first year of the MUIA
- 2nd year - term A (30 ECTS): they will take the courses of the specialisation in Plant Production and one elective course of the MUIA vocational orientation course
- 2nd year - term B (19 ECTS): MUSPV courses will be taken:
- Agricultural Acarology (33882, 2 ECTS)
- Insect Biology and Ecology (33879, 2 ECTS)
- Biology and Ecology of Plant Pathogens (33884, 2 ETCS)
- Ecology of Citrus Pests (33883, 2 ECTS)
- Soil Technology Intensification (33890, 2 ECTS)
- Methods of Plant Disease Control (33885, 2 ECTS)
- Pest Control Methods (33880, 2 ECTS)
- Diagnostic Methodology in Plant Pathology (33886, 3 ECTS)
The MUIA Master's thesis (33381, 12 ECTS) and the MUSPV Master's thesis (33892, 12 ECTS) will be carried out.
