The Institut Universitaire de Technologie in Chalon-sur-Saône, Vesoul Agrocampus and Agrosup Dijon in France, the Institute of Technology TRALEE in Ireland as well as the University of Bologna in Italy are developing a one year international postgraduate programme in agricultural machinery. The main objective is to equip students with highly specialized competences and solid transversal skills all embedded in an international dimension.
Students will originate from the French licence degree in Agriculture or a B.Sc in Agricultural Mechanization. They will have skills in agriculture, mechanical engineering, Agriculture Equipment science and techniques.
Students will move across the three countries rotating each quarter in one of the Partner Institutions, including a 3 month internship experience.
At the end of the programme they will get the necessary professional qualifications for playing important roles in the main industries operating in the sector.
Aims of the training
The main objective of the DE International Agricultural Engineering course is to train bilingual professionals able to integrate all types of companies or agricultural structures engaged in international commercial, technical or training activities.
Through an intensive learning of the English language, this training aims to prepare specialists adaptable to the specificities of the EU and international markets in a multicultural context.
On successful completion of the Degree, the learner will be able to:
- adapt in a non-French speaking country
- interact with international partners
- understand the specific economic interactions to agro-equipment
- gain increased technical and scientific skills in fields relating to research, innovation, design and development of agricultural machinery.
