The study programme imparts the most current scientific knowledge in dairy production, including breeding, feed production, animal nutrition, animal welfare and health, milking technology, eco-efficiency, dairy economics, processing of dairy products and milk quality, and it conveys methodological skills to teach students to work scientifically and systematically. Students will strengthen their competences in the field of dairy science and acquire skills in analytical understanding of the entire dairy production process chain. The Dairy Science study programme will encompass an international Master's degree. It is intended for students who hold a Bachelor's degree in agriculture with focus on animal science or in a related field and have an interest in a consecutive, multidisciplinary qualification with focus on milk production. The programme includes relevant topics from several disciplines of the Faculty of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences such as animal science, food production, and economics. Classes will be held in English and are open for students from all over the world.
