Agrosystems and cropping systems major

The major corresponds to course-specific teaching. It consists of course sequences and projects.

• In-depth studies: population genetics, physiology/ecophysiology, plants and communities, soil functioning, etc.   
• Reference production methods and tools: factorial experimentation, modeling, simulation, etc.   
• Accompanying method: autumn field trip

minors

Each semester includes 2 blocks dedicated to minors, corresponding to 54 hours of complementary teaching, enabling students to complete their training in a related field.

Several minors are offered on the Rouen or Rennes campuses, some of which require on-site travel (others can be taken by distance learning).

Some examples of minors

Block 1: Biotechnologies (bioprocesses and environmental microbiology) / Bioeconomy and societal issues / Sustainable weed management / Agricultural sectors: policies, trading and securing prices / Plants and population / Identification of Geo, Bio Energies (Label Géo-bio énergies)...

Block 2: New trends in consumer behaviour / Bio-inputs / Alternative and connected agricultures / Marketing studies and consumer trends / Digital mapping / Water and nutrient management...

In semester 9, you can choose the path you want to follow, by selecting from :

• the main major of the Agronomic Consulting and Reference Production pathway, which takes a more in-depth look at this field: Agronomic Consulting and Reference Production (Beauvais campus)   
• one or more opening majors, designed to broaden your skills in another field:       
  • Biotechnology and market (Rouen campus)       
  • Ag and Food Business models (Rouen campus)    
  • Sustainable Agri-Food systems in the world (Rouen campus)       
  • Agriculture and society (Beauvais campus)       
  • Purchasing and Supply chain (Beauvais campus)       
  • Intrapreneurship, entrepreneurship and innovation (Beauvais campus)   

a semester, a double degree or a degree-granting stay in France or abroad (from 12 to 18 months for a double degree or a degree-granting stay)

The final project is based on an in-company work placement or research placement for students, or on the long period spent in a company for apprentices.

A final dissertation is written and presented orally.
