Bachelor
L-25 R - Scienze e tecnologie agrarie e forestali
The structure of the degree course is functional to a solid preparation both regarding the basic subjects and regarding the subjects characterizing the profession of the agronomist in the current context.
The received training provides a multidisciplinary preparation characterized by a high level of competence and consequently allows a high adaptability towards the world of work. The same training also represents an adequate basis for continuing the training path in a master's degree course.
The training aims to provide students with the knowledge and tools to design and manage production processes (plant and animal) that are compatible with the growing awareness that characterizes the consumer in terms of product quality and environmental sustainability, without neglecting economic sustainability.
Furthermore, the training is also oriented towards aspects not necessarily linked to primary production activities, such as the management of natural resources with particular reference to water and forestry, land management, management of public and private green areas, production of renewable energy, transformation and valorization of by-products in agriculture.
Among the training objectives, those relating to the acquisition of the concepts of bio-economy and circular economy are not secondary, in order to allow the graduate in Sustainable Agriculture to manage the entire production process and foreseeing or facilitating the use of by-products.
To achieve these objectives, the training path initially addresses the study of basic subjects, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, statistics and computer science. Subsequently, typical topics of agricultural sciences are addressed, providing knowledge on agro-ecosystems from a productive and sustainability perspective.
The in-depth study of chemical, biochemical and microbiological topics aims to provide tools for understanding the typical processes of plant and animal production.
The engineering disciplines (agricultural mechanics, agricultural hydraulics and rural constructions), and economics together with the previous ones, allow the graduate to be trained in the rational and sustainable use of technical means and techniques for managing the agricultural company.
The training continues with the in-depth study of specific topics, contained in dedicated training courses, in which further critical and applicative skills are developed.
The free-choice courses of the student will finally allow the training to be completed by also strengthening different skills, taking into account the student's aptitudes.
The student will achieve the training objectives through differentiated teaching methods. Depending on the training and professional characteristics, the teaching courses are divided into lectures, laboratory and field exercises, seminars on topics of specific interest, educational visits, and so on.
The student, in addition, will have to carry out a period of internship, externally to the Faculty (Institutions, Research Institutes, companies, public administration, third sector organizations, other Italian or foreign universities) or at a university laboratory, in order to acquire practical skills in a topic of the training course. The internship activity constitutes the subject of the final exam.

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
The Course of study in Sustainable agriculture gives many opportunities for stages abroad mainly through the Erasmus+ programme. About 30 foreign Universities of the EU are involved in this students exchange. The areas of study which can be followed by the students abroad are almost all those included in this course of study. In general, students who make a stage abroad attend local courses or participate in research for the preparation of their thesis. The learning agreement is outlined in collaboration with the person in charge for the Erasmus of the degree program, as regards both the choice of courses and the organization of the internship at the partner university. Students must obtain the formal approval of the examinations that they intend to carry out at the host university from professors who hold equivalent or similar teachings atthe University of Milan before completing the learning agreement. As regards experimental activities abroad, which can constitute part or the entire program of the internship, a letter of agreement from a professor of the partner university is required, along with the formal approval on the objectives, on the program and on the term of the internship by a professor of the degree program, who will also act as supervisor. Other possibilities exist in terms of cultural exchange with non EU universities (in China, Japan, Latin America) not involved in the Erasmus programme: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-u48xSaV9eR9Vg-vU9YRT_DAcYCcI50K
Course attendance is strongly recommended.

Any additional learning requirements resulting from the aforementioned assessment must be met within the first year of the programme.
Admission assessment
Admission to this Bachelor's degree programme is open, subject to a mandatory, non-selective, assessment test before enrolment. The test will ascertain that the candidate meets admission requirements, i.e. knowledge of key science subjects as provided by upper secondary school, and an understanding of elementary logic. The test required for admission into the degree programme is TOLC-AV, an online test provided by the Consortium of InterUniversity Integrated Access Systems (CISIA - https://www.cisiaonline.it). For test topics and details, please review the page https://www.cisiaonline.it/en/area-tematica-tolc-agrariaveterinaria/struttura-della-prova-e-syllabus/ You may sit for the TOLC-AV test at the University of Milan or any other member university of CISIA. The calendar with available venues and dates is posted to the page https://tolc.cisiaonline.it/calendario.php?l=gb. Registration procedures and deadlines are set out in the call for applications posted to the page https://agricolturasostenibile.cdl.unimi.it/it/iscriversi The test results will be notified to each student individually, highlighting any additional learning requirements. To meet any additional learning requirements, the Faculty offers students remedial online courses and extracurricular tutoring at the beginning of classes. We strongly recommend that anyone with additional learning requirements use these services.
Admission of transfer or graduate students
Transfer students from a degree programme of the University of Milan, or another university, and graduate students will be waived from the test requirement only if admitted to years subsequent to Year I. To this end, they will have to submit aspecific request for prior assessment of their academic records using the online service as shown in the call for applications.
