University of Hohenheim

We motivate students at an early stage to think and work scientifically and fuel their interest in the research questions in the subject. We encourage them to look beyond the horizons of their respective subject. We understand our research as an indispensable source for teaching and promote the mutual connections of research and teaching. We support students in independently obtaining competencies and give them orientation on their individual paths to successfully completing their studies. We draw links to current challenges in politics, business, and society.

Crop Science, Animal Science, Agricultural Engineering

Agricultural Biology looks at complex biological systems of plants, animals, and soil in the agricultural sector. Applying this natural science knowledge to specific problems in modern agricultural production allows for a optimization and further development of the global agricultural system for food security, sustainability, and social acceptance. Agricultural Biology has a broad spectrum of subjects and specializations. Work on research projects or have practical experience on Germany’s largest experimental fields. Hohenheim has good international networks and global exchange programs.

The ecological market is growing worldwide, and consumers are increasingly interested in the quality of food and the sustainable production of food. That is why the demand for experts in the area of organic agriculture is also increasing. The degree program can be studied as a “single degree” or as a “double degree,” for which the students spend the second year of studies at one of four partner universities in Austria, Poland, Denmark, or France. Close cooperation with the University's Center for Organic Farming. Optimal preparation for international careers in organic agriculture.
