Turin Polytechnic's innovative Agritech Engineering master's degree program is a multidisciplinary course, first and only nationwide, that will focus on training engineers capable of managing and generating technological innovation in the agricultural field. This curriculum will provide good employment opportunities as a European trend in the use of a variety of digital technologies in precision agriculture is now evident.
In a mix of knowledge from environmental engineering, ICT (Information & Communication Technologies), industrial, and chemistry, students will gain essential skills to meet the challenges of the future, including adaptation to climate change, reducing the environmental impact of the agribusiness sector, and developing marginal areas.
The curriculum of the Master's Degree Program is specially designed to combine the needs of agronomists with technological knowledge. This course will provide opportunities to acquire skills in mechanics, electronics, computer science, chemistry, economics and water resource management, enabling them to gain a comprehensive perspective of the agricultural world. This multidisciplinary training is essential for translating theoretical knowledge into practical and operational solutions. In the first year, courses in economics and agriculture will be delivered to provide a solid foundation of knowledge before specializing in the different technological areas required by the industry.
Agritech Engineering offers new and exciting career opportunities, creating highly specialized and sought-after professionals both nationally and internationally, leading players in the design and management of innovative technologies applied to agriculture, with a focus on environmental sustainability and economic and production circularity. Proficiency in the English language provided during the course further facilitates the path to an international career.
An additional benefit for those who attend the Master of Science in Agritech Engineering degree program will be the opportunity to work and collaborate with the National Research Center for Agricultural Technology. This state-of-the-art center, funded with 477 million euros from the European Union, is committed to using enabling technologies to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and ensure food security, reducing environmental impacts under changing climatic conditions.
