The master degree in Agricultural Sciences, which belongs to the class L-69 "Agricultural Sciences and Technologies", aims at training master graduates with a high skills based on the most recent and advanced knowledge in the different agrarian sectors. The skills acquired will permit the graduate to realize the importance of a modern agriculture and of its role of combining the traditional mission of supplying food, with that of safeguarding the territory and producing safe and sustainable food. The master graduate will have the cultural, scientific and technical flexibility, gained through a multi-disciplinary/integrated approach to the different aspects, necessary to check and manage the ongoing adaptation of the agricultural productive system to the new needs of the complex and heterogeneous European society.
Considering the actual evolution of the most advanced agricultural areas in Italy and in Europe, the learning structure of the degree course is focused on three specific educational areas: 1) farm management and its links with the market, the production chains, and the territory and the environment involved; 2) livestock production, the livestock chains and the related relations with the environment sustainability and the food safety; 3) precision farming systems and methods and management of the digital technologies associated.
Common learning objectives of the master degree are a deepening of the skills and knowledge on agriculture and its management both at farm and at territory level, and the acquisition of the ability of planning, implementing and manage the production processes and the technical innovations in a view of a safeguard of the environment and the territory.
The profile of the master graduate in Agricultural Sciences is an upgrade of that acquainted by the bachelor graduate in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies. He/she will be able to perform all the activities foreseen by the Professional Register of the Agronomists. The knowledge and the skills provided will enable the graduate in Agricultural Sciences to work, at planning and direction level, in the following sectors: crop-livestock productions, organization of the extension services, public and private administration, research and teaching; farm economic and administrative direction; integrated rural development projects; planning livestock structures/buildings; monitoring and safeguard of the rural territory; choice and set up of technical production plants; machine, plant and structure check and safety; planning agriculture mechanization and water management activities in the territory energy management in renewable energy systems; practices for environmental protection and sustainable agriculture; commercialization and marketing of agriculture commodities.
Particularly, the master graduate will have the following job opportunities, depending on the curriculum chosen within the degree course
Management - Managerial functions of direction and coordination: in farms and agricultural enterprises; in the agricultural sector of public institutions; in technical and commercial agricultural extension services. Moreover: private counselling in agricultural sectors.
Livestock systems - Managerial functions of direction and coordination: in livestock farms and agricultural enterprises linked to the livestock sector; in the livestock sector of public institutions; in technical and commercial livestock extension services. Moreover: private counselling in livestock sectors; research and development in private enterprises and research centres.
Precision farming - technical/professional services to support agricultural production; ICT (Information and communications technology) enterprises for agriculture (informatics, modelling, remote sensing, etc.); high innovation start-up for the agro-food sys; industry of agriculture precision technologies and farm machineries; technical and commercial support to farm adopting PF systems.

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
The Course of study in Agricultural Sciences 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 at the 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.
La frequenza delle attività formative è fortemente consigliata.

Study plan rules
- Insegnamenti a scelta programmata

Gli insegnamenti a scelta programmata permettono allo studente di caratterizzare ulteriormente il profilo formativo, coerentemente al curriculum prescelto.
I 18 CFU relativi a tali insegnamenti si ottengono con tre esami da selezionare liberamente all'interno della tabella sottostante. Alcuni di questi (insegnamenti coordinati) propongono contenuti didattici integrati e per essi viene consigliata, anche se non è obbligatoria, la scelta a "pacchetto" di tre esami.
Il Collegio Didattico si riserva la possibilità di attivare solo gli insegnamenti coordinati che avranno raggiunto una soglia minima di scelte in fase di compilazione dei piani di studio.
Gli insegnamenti con titolo in inglese sono erogati esclusivamente in lingua inglese.

- Insegnamenti a scelta libera

Il piano didattico comprende 9 CFU a libera scelta dello studente, da destinare ad insegnamenti selezionati nell'ambito di quelli attivati per il corso di laurea, compresi gli insegnamenti a scelta programmata, o nell'ambito degli altri corsi di laurea della Facoltà e dell'Ateneo, oppure da destinare ad altre attività formative valutabili in crediti. Ai fini dell'acquisizione dei 9 crediti a libera scelta il Collegio Didattico propone gli insegnamenti indicati nella tabella sottostante.
Tra le attività formative spendibili in quelle a libera scelta vi sono la partecipazione a seminari, convegni, corsi di aggiornamento, o ad altre attività organizzate dall'Ateneo o da un altro Ente, purché congruenti con il percorso formativo, di norma fino ad un massimo di 4 CFU. Il riconoscimento di crediti per queste attività deve essere preventivamente concordato col proprio docente tutor.
Rientrano poi tra queste attività i laboratori REE (Research-Enriched Education) (3 CFU) che il Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie e Ambientali attiva di anno in anno. Con tali laboratori si intende sviluppare un approccio culturale alla didattica in cui i docenti prendano parte al processo di innovazione delle metodologie didattiche focalizzato sullo studente e sull'utilizzo di nuove tecnologie, avviando progetti di sperimentazione di insegnamenti che adottino una didattica innovativa finalizzata all'integrazione didattica/ricerca.
Tali laboratori prevedono mediamente 6 giornate di esercitazioni e lavoro applicato in laboratorio o in campo (es. aziende agricole didattico sperimentali di UNIMI) sotto la supervisione di personale docente e non docente, con brevi introduzioni metodologiche alle attività in programma.
Le basi conoscitive alle quali i laboratori REE fanno riferimento sono parte dei programmi dei corsi che gli studenti hanno già svolto o che svolgeranno successivamente.
I laboratori REE attivati per l'a.a. 2022-2023 sono indicati nella tabella sottostante.
