  • The International Master in Applied Ecology (IMAE) program is suspended across our faculty and the Faculty of Mathematics ad Natural Sciences  at Christian Albrechts University under the roof of the  Kiel School of Sustainability  

    The special feature of the program, which was developed with the aim of providing graduates with competencies for innovative and new solutions to emerging problems in applied ecology, is that it was set up as an integrated program by several international universities together and is also constantly being further developed by them. The university consortium now includes European as well as South and North American universities. Participants are
     

    • University of Coimbra (consortium leader), Portugal, 
    • Christian Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany, 
    • University of East Anglia in Norwich, Great Britain, 
    • Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil, 
    • University of Sao Paulo, Brazil and 
    • University of Saskatchewan, Canada.

     

    Students can choose from courses offered by all participating universities, majoring in either "Environmental Quality Assessment and Conservation" or "Ecosystems Functional Analysis". Part of the program also includes a major field trip to the Galapagos Islands or Brazil. 

    Students must go through a multi-stage selection process to be accepted into the program. 

    Further information is either available on the study information sheet (German) for the International Master of Applied Ecology or is available in English on the pages of the study program.

  • The study program Environmental Economics (EM), jointly supported by the AEF and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MNF), was launched in winter semester 2004/2005.

    This makes the program not only one of the oldest international programs at Kiel University, but also the first international program of our faculty.
    Together with other inter-faculty study programs, the study program is located under the roof of the  Kiel School of Sustainability. a facility of AEF and MNF.
    To successfully apply for acceptance as a student, you must go through a multi-stage admission process. In this process, more than 300 students from more than 30 nations regularly apply for the approximately 25 available places.  
    The EM program is interdisciplinary in nature and begins by evaluating the diverse potentials of students in mandatory modules and establishing a common foundation for further study. 
    Four mandatory units are to be taken in the first semesters: 
    On the one hand, the modules "Sustainable Approaches in Environmental Management" and "Planning and Managing Science Projects", on the other hand, two strongly science-oriented mandatory Science Project modules. Also modules on scientific methods are part of the compulsory modules in the following semesters.

    The program offers the opportunity to gain practical experience in the interdisciplinary application of current and innovative research methods in the context of study projects, laboratory internships, field studies and excursions. This goal is achieved through the extensive interdisciplinary module offering of over 70 modules, which provides students with a very good environment for personal focus and specialization.

    The focal points of the program are e.g. "Knowledge and Analysis", "Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services", "Ecohydrology and Geoecology", "Human and Environmental Interaction in space and time", "Coasts and Oceans" and "Environmental Economics and Politics". 
    This broad range of topics is only possible because the sections not only include modules from the courses offered by AEF and MNF, but also integrate courses offered by the faculty of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences as well as the research centers Forschungs- und Technologiezentrum Westküste (FTZ), Alfred Wegner Institute (AWI) and other non-university actors from the region.

    The Environmental Management program also offers students the opportunity to participate in two double-degree programs. While participation in the double-degree program with Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland leads to the degree in "Environmental Protection", Irkutsk State University, Russia issues a degree in "Environmental Management" after successful participation in the double-degree program.

  • The study of the genomes of living organisms has made significant contributions to agricultural sciences over the last two decades. This is partly due to technical innovations such as the introduction of high-throughput techniques, and partly due to the wide availability of genomic data in internationally accessible web-based databases. These techniques are now briefly referred to as "omics" techniques. In addition to genomics as an umbrella term, these include transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and phenomics.
    The AgriGenomics course is defined in this context as follows: "AgriGenomics is the detailed study of the genetic makeup of plants and animals and how all the genes work together to produce crops and livestock".
    The Master's program is offered entirely in English. It is therefore aimed at bachelor's graduates from all parts of the world. Today, there are global networks of genome research in which a unique scientific language is spoken, consisting of numerous technical terms. This language is taught in this degree program. Graduates should be competent to apply genomic techniques and knowledge in animal and plant breeding, plant and animal physiology, and phytopathology. They should have a multidisciplinary competence to integrate "omics" technologies into agricultural production processes. Furthermore, graduates should gain deep insights into breeding methods and plant nutrition and phytopathology. Combining this with practical agricultural knowledge will allow them to apply genomic data and knowledge to improve production factors and practices in agricultural production. Graduates gain the ability to hold leading positions in research and development in agronomically oriented life science companies. In addition, they obtain the qualification for subsequent doctoral studies.
     
    Further information can be found either on the German-language study information sheets for the Master's program in AgriGenomics or on the English-language website of the program.

  • FAQ

    Please let us know what questions you think would be worthwhile additions to the following list of frequently asked questions.

    When do module examinations take place?

    In every semester, there are two available consecutive examination periods which are scheduled at the end of the lecture period as well as at the beginning of the following semester. The exact dates of the registration periods for each examination period and an overview of the examination period, itself, can either be found posted on the notice board or on the website of the Virtual Central Examination Office for B.A. and M.A. Students.

    How do I go about registering for a module examination?

    Your registration should be done via the online system QIS.  In exceptions, a written registration can be submitted to the Examination Office with the following form.

     

    When and where do I find out when my examinations are taking place?

     Written examination dates are assigned at the beginning of every semester and are announced on the notice board and on the website of the Examination Office. The oral examination dates offered by university instructors are, at the latest, made public on the first day of the registration period and

    can be found in the same locations. The exact dates that specifically apply to you can be viewed via the QIS online system at the end of the registration period. For students who do not have access to QIS, these dates will also be posted in the Examination Office.

     What is the examination procedure?

    Oral individual or group examinations last anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Either two examiners or one examiner and an observer are present. The examination result must be given to the examinee directly following the examination. Written examinations are taken under supervision and have a maximum time limit of 90 minutes.

     Can other individuals attend the examinations?

    With your permission, a fellow student is permitted to attend the examination.

     How do I go about retaking an examination?

    In the event that you fail or that you do not attend an examination, the examination office does not re-register you.  You are required to register yourself for the next examination period in which you would like to repeat the failed or missed examination. Please note that an examination can only be repeated a maximum of two times.

    When can I retake an examination?

     One can apply for admission to module examinations in any of the 3 examination periods following the module. External modules from other faculties, which are only offered in 2 examination periods, are excluded (Chemistry, Bio Plants, Bio Animals, Economics, Anatomy, Physics).

    Modules from the summer semester (SS) are possible: July – October – February

    Modules from the winter semester (WS) are possible: February - March/April – July

    What do I do when I am ill on the day of the examination?

    Should you be ill on the day of an examination, you are required to provide the Examination Office with a doctor's certificate. This will enable the head of the Examination Committee to clarify whether your illness justifies your absence. Please find the necessary form (exception: a stay in hospital, for which a certificate from the clinic is sufficient) here.

    The reasons for not attending an examination must be communicated immediately, shown to be legitimate and submitted in written form. This means that all documents pertaining to your missed examination must be submitted to the Examination Office within 4 days (including the day of the examination). The postmark, i.e. date stamp, will be the indicator as to whether or not the submission was made within the 4-day period. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays do not count.  In the case of an oral examination, the course instructor must, at the very latest, be informed via e-mail on the morning of the scheduled examination of your inability to attend the scheduled examination.

    Complementary Examinations

    Complementary examinations are examinations that do not take place during the regular

    examination periods. These are, predominantly, presentations and papers.  In order to ensure that the marks for these complementary examinations are acknowledged and properly assigned by the instructors, one must register these complementary examinations at the end of the semester for the

    1st examination period. This can also apply to written exams covering only a section of the respective module.

    Bachelor and Master's Theses

    Bachelor and Master's Theses must be applied for in the examination office. Please bring the appropriate form in person to the examination office, where the application will be processed immediately.

    Please be sure that the designated completion time is adhered to and that your thesis is applied for in good time.

    In justified exceptions, the completion time can be extended. In such a case, please provide the Examination Office with an independent written request including the reason(s) for the desired extension and the specific requested time extension. The maximum extension can be found in your thesis approval notification. The university or faculty's seal may not be used on any thesis.

    Elective modules from other faculties

     

    Up to 2 elective modules from other faculties can go towards the completion of a Bachelor of

    Science or a Master of Science. Further information can be found here.

  • About possibilities to receive BAföG as International Student, please contact the "Studentenwerk SH".

     

    If you already receive BAföG, please contact the Examination Office if you have further questions, but please read carefully first the following explanations: 

    lease submit certificates for submission to the Office of Student Financial Aid to the Faculty's Examination Office, Hermann-Rodewald-Str. 4, 24118 Kiel. The staff of the examination office will submit the form to the BAföG officer responsible for the required signature.

    Bachelor of Science
    From the fifth semester onwards, educational assistance for attending a higher technical college, academy or university is only provided from the point in time when the student has submitted a certificate of achievement § 48 BAföG. This is regularly a certificate issued by the higher education institution after the start of the fourth semester or proof of the credits earned (ECTS).

    Wording and intention of the law - § 48 Abs. 1 Nr. 2 BAföG - is that the proof of achievements (certificate of achievement on form 5) is issued "after the beginning of the 4th subject semester". After the beginning of the 4th semester, however, only the performance level of the 3rd semester can be certified.
    However, if the required performance has not been achieved at the beginning of the 4th semester, a performance certificate can be issued after the end of the 4th semester, then of course with the performance level of the 4th semester. With this procedure, there is usually a delay of up to 3 months in the grant payments due to the submission of the certificate of achievement at the end of the 4th semester or at the beginning of the 5th semester and due to the processing time in the Office for Educational Support.

    Master of Science
    The Master's degree can only be funded once the Bachelor's degree has been officially completed. This must be proven by submitting the Bachelor's certificate or at least a confirmation from the examination office, and at the same time proof of enrollment in the Master's program must be provided.

    Dual enrollment
    Students at CAU zu Kiel are allowed double enrollment. They re-register for the Bachelor's degree, which has not yet been fully completed, e.g. in the 7th semester and can already enroll in the Master's degree at the same time, provided that no more than 30 credit points are missing for graduation and the B.Sc. degree can be proven for a summer term by June, 10th and for a winter term by December, 10th.

  • Course Recommendations:

    1. elective Master module AEF-agr804 "Biometric experimental design and evaluation", read annually in SS,  offers a good support at the beginning of the PhD.

    Module Objectives and Content: Students will have advanced knowledge of multiple testing problems, as well as commonly used statistical models; they will know the basic principles of case design; they will be able to design, evaluate and analyze typical experiments and surveys in the field of agricultural and food sciences. Contents of the module: Case number design, regression, variance, covariance analysis, multiple contrast tests, experimental designs, introduction to mixed models, introduction to the statistical software R.

    2. Equally helpful is the English language module AEF-em030: Statistical & mathematical tools, which can also be attended by PhD students. Contents see  here.

  • The Justus von Liebig Prizes, established in 1949 by the F.V.S. Foundation in Hamburg, was awarded annually, and since 1982 every two years, by the Faculty to individuals or working groups who have rendered outstanding services to European agriculture in scientific or practical fields. Until 1994, one German and one member of another European country were each awarded a Liebig Prize. From 1996, only one prize was awarded. The prize was endowed with € 15,000.

    Associated with the prize were two Liebig-Europa travel grants of € 3,000 each for students of agriculture.

    Since 2007 the prize is awarded as Justus-von-Liebig-Preis für Welternährung by  Stiftung fiat panis.

    By merging the Liebig Prize and the Thünen Medal in 2009, the Alfred-Toepfer-Stiftung F.V.S. started granting the Cultura-Preis.

    Justus Freiherr von Liebig

    (May 12, 1803 - April 18, 1873)

    Justus von Liebig was born in Darmstadt and worked as a professor of chemistry in Giessen from 1824. From 1852 until his death he was based in Munich. In addition to work on technical and analytical chemistry, his research in the field of organic chemistry is particularly important, which he considerably expanded by discovering new substances (aldehydes, chloral, chloroform, hippuric acid, etc.). Many of his discoveries found industrial applications, for example the production of meat extract. As the founder of modern fertilization and agricultural chemistry, Liebig is also considered a co-founder of agricultural science.

    Acceptance as doctoral candidate

    at the Faculty of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences

    In order to start your doctorate at the Faculty of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences, the Faculty has to accept you officially. The requirements for an acceptance are regulated in the actual  Doctoral Degree Regulations.

    Hence, you need to agree with a professor on supervision by signing a supervising agreement.  At our faculty it is expected from our prospective PhD candidates to find a supervisor on your own and to contact him directly. The agreement document is available below or as an attachment in our doctoral degree regulations.

    Helpful information on organizing your doctoral project with your supervisor, on your financing and (health) insurance during the doctoral period, on your enrollment as a doctoral student at the CAU and what you have to consider for the recognition of this time for the German pension insurance etc. pp. can be found on the website of the Graduate Center, especially under the menu item Best practice doctorate.

    For your application as doctoral candidate please submit the following documents in one PDF-file as email to the dean's office, dekanat@agrar.uni-kiel.de:

    • the supervising agreement (To be filled in digitally for reasons of readability.)
    • a copy of your master’s degree (or comparable degree) including all exam grades and the final grade or a transcript of records
    • a copy of your valid identity card

     

    After receipt of your complete set of documents, we will send you a link to the CAU's doctorate statistics with a request to register as a doctoral candidate there and

    • confirm the registration in the online portal with a screenshot as PDF file


    The documents for your application for a doctorate are now complete and will be evaluated. External candidates are accepted by the Konvent (upcoming meetings of the Konvent can be found here). Please note the possible extensions of the evaluation period. You will then receive a letter of acceptance from the Faculty of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences.

  • Habilitation thesis
    In order to promote young scientists, the faculty provides the opportunity to demonstrate the ability to conduct independent research and teaching by means of a habilitation thesis and a scientific colloquium. Prerequisite for the habilitation is the doctoral degree in agricultural sciences, ecotrophology or an equivalent qualification. The habilitation thesis should provide new scientific knowledge based on the applicant's own research.

    Habilitation Committee
    For the evaluation of the habilitation thesis, the Habilitation Committee, elected by the Faculty Convention and chaired by the Dean, appoints at least four professors as reviewers. On the basis of the available expert opinions, the habilitation committee recommends to the Faculty Convention the acceptance or rejection of the habilitation thesis.

    Colloquium
    The colloquium follows the acceptance of the thesis. It consists of a scientific lecture followed by a discussion covering the entire subject for which habilitation is sought. With the test lecture, the applicant should prove that he/she is able to present and represent a scientific issue of his/her subject in a concise form. The lecture should not be from the field of the habilitation thesis. If the oral habilitation performance is accepted by the habilitation committee, the habilitation procedure is successfully completed.

    Teaching qualification
    In the habilitation certificate, the applicant is certified as qualified to teach in the subject in which the habilitation took place, and is granted the right to add the suffix 'habilitatus' ('habil.') to the doctoral degree he/she holds. Upon application, the Senate of the University grants the authorization to teach (Venia legendi) with the right to use the academic title 'Privatdozent' or 'Privatdozentin' (Priv.- Doz.).

    Note on the submission of printed copies: All printed copies of the habilitation thesis intended for the reviewers and for publication must be handed in at the Dean's Office. With regard to the print quality, the same conditions apply as for dissertations. For archiving reasons, the thesis must be printed on acid-free and ageing-resistant paper and bound without the use of metal or plastic parts. A perfect-bound brochure and double-sided printing are desirable. The choice of format (DIN A4 or DIN A5) is free, as is the choice for black and white or colour printing. Please inform yourself  here. After successful completion of the habilitation procedure, the print copies of the habilitation thesis intended for publication will be forwarded by the Dean's Office to the UB.

  • If you do research work as a doctoral candiate at Kiel University without an employment contract, e.g. in a laboratory or on one of the university farms, you have the possibility of concluding a Gestattungsvertrag (licensing agreement) with your supervisor in which the rights and duties of both parties can be specified.

    You can find a model agreement here (German) and here (English). Please note that only the German version of such an agreement is legally binding. The model agreement can be modified to reflect the particular situation of the doctoral candidate. The institute in question, the faculty, represented by the dean's office, and the legal counsel of Kiel University, Ms. Daniela Geißler, must approve of the final agreement.

  • The Faculty of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences (AEF) at Kiel University was founded under the name Faculty of Agriculture in 1946 and was mainly dominated by male students and researchers. Almost twenty-five years later, the proportion of female students and scientists increased with the establishment of the Ecotrophology and Nutritional Science study program. Meanwhile, gender equality is a central goal in all areas of the faculty, which is to be implemented steadily through appropriate measures. We, as the Equal Opportunity Team of the Faculty, together with the Equal Opportunity Committee, consisting of representatives from all status groups of the scientific enterprise of the AEF, have developed our Equal Opportunity Plan successfully.

    The promotion of equality is to be achieved primarily through the awarding of a faculty gender prize for student theses, the support of female scientists after their doctorate during maternity and parental leave by a research assistant and the offer of workshops on gender and equality-related topics.

    Moreover, we would like to be the contact for all scientists who are interested in our gender equality work. A close cooperation with the diversity and family officers of the AEF as well as with the public relations of the faculty should enrich our activities and make them visible.

    The Equality Plan was adopted at the 348th (ordinary) session of the Convention on 26 October 2022 and is available here.

  • Currently, there is no structured continuing education program at the Faculty of Agriculture and Nutrition.

    The annual conference (Hochschultagung) of our Faculty serves for further education, the meeting of scientists with agricultural and nutritional practitioners and at the same time as a meeting place for former students of the faculty.

    The lectures held in the colloquia of the institutes of the Faculty are public and can be used as continuing education.

    As an institution for continuing agricultural education, the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Agriculture is significantly involved. The Faculty of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences maintains a close cooperation. For example, scientists regularly give lectures as part of these continuing education courses offered by the chamber.

    The Christian-Albrechts-University also offers continuing education courses:

    1. All academic examination equivalents in the forms of papers, reports or presentations must - without exception - be registered for the 1st examination period of a semester.  
    2.  All oral and written components of examinations from modules offered by our faculty can be registered for independently of each other in three time periods:
    • WS modules in February, March/April and July
    • SS modules in July, October and February
       
    1. The rules pertaining to externally completed modules are determined by the faculties offering those courses.
    2. For written examinations and oral examinations, withdrawal is possible without giving reasons up to the 8th day before the examination date. For all other types of examinations, the registration deadline is also the withdrawal deadline.
    3. The certificates submitted for oral examinations are only recorded after the lecturers have received the examination protocols. Please wait with enquiries until 1 week after the end of the examination period.


    For all Bachelor's and Master's students, there are uniformly two examination periods, each extending over 2 weeks. In principle, the first examination period corresponds to the last week of the lecture period and the first week of the semester break:

    • the 1st examination period corresponds to the last week of the lecture period and the first week of the lecture-free period.
    • the 2nd examination period corresponds to the last week of the lecture-free period and the first week of the lecture period of the following semester.
       

    If you are prevented from attending on certain days during the examination period (weddings, internships, etc.), please let us know before the examination dates for the oral examinations are assigned. You will find the deadline in the examiners' schedule. Unfortunately, notifications received later cannot be considered. Requests for a specific exam day are not possible. Requests like: First or last exam in the period we try to consider.

  • Profile formation and self-image of the faculty:  

    The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the solutions to fundamental societal development problems needed to achieve them are closely linked to the production and consumption of agricultural goods in many areas. As a life science, agricultural and food sciences can and must therefore make an essential contribution to solving these problems. Research at the AEF succeeds in doing so, especially through its evolving innovative methodological as well as interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary orientation. The AEF has already responded to this through the thematic orientation of new professorships in the areas of microbiome research, metabolomics and nutriinformatics, among others, as a central component in the life sciences.

    The successful thematic interlinking of the four disciplines of plant, animal, agricultural and food economics as well as environmental sciences up to and including nutritional sciences and the involvement of the various societal stakeholders in the formulation of relevant research questions, the communication of results and the development of proposed solutions is to be further deepened.

    The interactive dialogue with industry, stakeholders and citizens is seen as central to this. The inclusion of computer science is emerging as a megatrend of future transdisciplinary research in agricultural and nutritional sciences. On the one hand, this follows from the increasing importance of digitalization within the agriculture and food industry, but also within science and universities themselves. The increasing importance of big data, computational analytics and modeling as well as IT-supported communication such as IT tools in stakeholder and customer communication, applications (apps) in therapy, digital control tools within the agribusiness value chain, in the administrative implementation of agricultural policy decisions as well as in political decision-making represent developments that are already in full swing and will continue to develop exponentially. Recognizing this and implementing it early through the development of innovative professorships is critical to ensuring that agricultural and food sciences can make their contribution to solving fundamental societal development problems.

    In this context, the future viability of new agricultural and food management systems to be developed will arise from the extension of a frequently pursued unilateral approach of yield or consumption maximization by the ecosystem-oriented component of resource and climate protection. Such a methodological and thematic development of research is reflected in a corresponding development of teaching at the AEF. In addition to the innovative teaching of new methodological approaches in the current course of studies, the conception and implementation of new international master's programs in the interface area of computer science and agricultural and food sciences is particularly targeted.

  • Johann-Heinrich-von-Thünen-Medal in Gold

    The Alfred Toepfer Foundation F.V.S. stopped awarding the Thünen Medal in 2005 and replaced it in 2007 with the newly created Cultura Award. The Agricultural
    and Nutritional Sciences Faculty awards the Thünen Medal on its own as of 2009.

    The prize curatorship consists of six members. The Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences of the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel appoints three members from among its full-time professors in addition to the respective dean. The other members are appointed by the Faculty on the recommendation of the Board of Trustees. At least two members of the board of trustees should be practical farmers.

    Johann Heinrich von Thünen

    (June 24, 1783 to September 22, 1850)

    Johann Heinrich von Thünen was born on June 24, 1783, in Kanarienhausen near Hooksiel in Jeverland. He attended Lucas Andreas Staudinger's agricultural training school in Holstein, where he demonstrated fundamental ideas as early as 1803 on a term paper, which he later developed into a seminal work of national economics as a practical farmer on the Tellow estate in Mecklenburg from 1810 to 1850).

    His teacher and friend Staudinger accompanied his work and ensured that Thuenen's work "The Isolated State in Relation to Agriculture and National Economy" was published as Part 1 in Hamburg in 1826. Four years later, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Rostock.

    In his work Thuenen shows the optimal supply of the population with economic goods and thus at the same time the expedient location and the optimal production intensity of the individual branches of the economy. In his assumptions, the arrangement of the directions of production takes place around the point of sale in the so-called "Thünen circles". They are arranged according to the transport costs per unit of area and distance around the market. Thünen's method is primarily that of isolating abstraction.

    The 2nd part of the "isolating state" was published in 1850. Particularly noteworthy from this are the statements on the natural remuneration of workers contained in his wage formula. These statements also show Thünen's social attitude in particular.

    With his work, Thuenen founded important research institutions in the economic and social sciences, such as farm economics and econometrics, agricultural, urban and forestry location theory, marginal analysis, marginal productivity theory, economic optimization, total model calculation, and theories on political and social statements about natural wages and profit sharing.

    He died on September 22, 1850 on his Tellow estate as a practical farmer and is today considered the most important German economist of his time

    • The regulations also include, among other things, presence examinations and homework.
    • In the case of combined examinations (e.g. presentation + term paper), the following applies: The examination is only considered to have been passed when all examination parts have been submitted in full.
    • This also includes, for example, repeat examinations from previous semesters that are taken in the summer semester 2021.
    • The regulation also applies to examinations which are assigned to the summer semester 2020/21 but which take place at a later date for organisational reasons (principle of equal treatment).
    • A fail by not appearing for the examination also leads to a free attempt.
    • For students who care for or look after children under the age of 14 and whose learning or examination situation is significantly more difficult due to the closure of schools and day-care facilities, any examination taken and not passed in the winter semester 2020/2021 is considered a free attempt. A copy of the birth certificate must be submitted to the Examinations Office as proof.
    • No free attempt is granted for failed final examinations (bachelor thesis, master thesis).
    • Failure to pass due to attempted cheating does NOT result in a free attempt

  • Our Faculty was founded in 1946 as the Faculty of Agriculture and received a seal with the motto Nunquam Otiosus (never idle) and with the agricultural symbol of plow and ear of corn.

    Prof. Dr. Emil Lang, together with other faculties and with the special support of the Research Institute for Dairy Farming, made special efforts to expand the faculty.

    While until 1970 only graduated farmers and later graduated agricultural engineers were trained, the faculty was significantly expanded in that year and now also offered the course of studies in household economics.

    At the same time, the faculty was renamed the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences. Since 1998, it now bears the name "Faculty of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences" (AEF).

    In 2000, the AEF was one of the first faculties to introduce the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs, and there has been a steady expansion of the range of courses offered. In the meantime, students at the faculty can choose from a total of nine study programs.

  • "Conservation Agriculture for Nutrition and Health"

     

    The CAU's Agricultural and Nutritional Science Faculty (founded in 1946) is proud to offer an equally theoretical and application-oriented scientific education culminating in the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Master of Science (M.Sc.) Degrees.  Combining Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences in one faculty allows for a comprehensive overview of food production within the production chain - from the initial production and the assessment of environmental impact of land utilisation to agribusiness and food processing to the evaluation of food products on health ('food chain analysis').

    The program's structure ensures a broad, application-oriented Bachelor program (B.Sc. Agriculture and B.Sc. Nutrition, 6 semesters) and a stronger science-oriented Masters program (M.Sc. Agriculture and M.Sc. Nutrition and Foodscience/M.Sc. Nutrition and Household Economics, 4 semesters) that prepares graduates for future professional demands in their chosen field.

    The Faculty responds to new challenges in the areas of biotechnology, the environment, agribusiness, nutrition and health through new course offerings:  M.Sc. Environmental Management, M.Sc. Applied Ecology and M.Sc. Ecohydrology (offered in cooperation with the Natural Sciences Faculty, 4 semesters) ,  M.Sc. AgriGenomics (4 semesters) and M.Sc. Dairy Science (4 Semester).

    New Master course MSc Dairy Science:  This specialization is one-of-a-kind among German universities and bundles the expertise of the Kiel's Agriculture and Nutritional Science Faculty and the Max-Rubner-Institute (MRI) in Kiel as well as the Dairy Research Center Kiel.

    A list of current research can be found here.

     

     

    Crop Science

    The Institutes of Crop Science investigate and teach the basics of plant production and practice-relevant problems. The course of studies takes both conventional as well as organic approaches to plant production into account. In addition to the traditional selection processes, the area of plant breeding also encompasses state-of-the-art biotechnological breeding methods. The study of plant nutrition, enables students to explore the latest questions on the subjects of fertilization, nutritional physiology of plants and their product quality and ecological aspects of plant nutrition. In addition to detailed knowledge of soil physics and chemistry, students of soil science delve into the basics of soil systems. Agricultural process technology introduces the latest developments in agricultural technology. The Institute of Phytopathology carries out research on pests, vermin and weeds as well as on conventional and environmentally friendly pest control strategies.

    Animal Science

    Animal science KNOW-HOW modernizes farm management and provides consulting firms with impulses for modern farming. The protection and optimization of food quality always plays a primary role. In addition to breeding and primary production, animal science research also focuses on the subsequent processing industry., while, at the same time, tying in the development of market-driven innovative technologies and the search for solutions to environmental problems. The conception and design of controlling instruments for agricultural enterprises and food production offers graduates further areas of operation. Communicative teamwork forms the basis of this subject area and plays a role in training. Animal science students initiate inter-disciplinary projects and accompany their implementation into practice. A degree in Animal Science can lead to careers in the areas of politics, administration, research, consulting and farm management. A broad scientific education that is practice-relevant and that teaches sound economic principles can also provide the basis for a career in management outside of the agricultural sector. The Institute of Animal Science offers flexibility and the opportunity to specialize in small groups with optimal guidance and supervision. Cattle and swine research stations guarantee practical experience. Kiel's Institutes of Animal Science are among the most active research groups in Europe. Since winter semester 2005/2006, 'milk production' has been offered as a new major in conjunction with the Max Rubner Institute in Kiel. This major provides students with the opportunity to gain qualifications in the management of milk production and milk processing.

    Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness

    Applied economic problems in the areas of production, trade and marketing of agricultural raw materials and food are explored within the realms of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness. Additionally, special attention is paid to the analysis and evaluation of the political parameters and framework governing these areas. Economical, statistical and sector-specific theories, facts and methods form the basis of the course of studies, which is both theoretical as well as intensely practice-oriented. The University of Kiel is one of the few universities in Germany to deal with these sub-disciplines of agricultural science. Students should not only be able to understand economical models, but, with the assistance of empirical studies, should be able to test and experience them in daily life. Being able to formulate and solve applied economic problems is the most important educational goal and, at the same time, is the key qualification to ensure future professional success. Moreover, close supervision and small groups promote social competence and the ability to work well in a team. A degree in Agricultural Economics or Agribusiness forms an excellent basis for a career in management within the agricultural sector or nutrition industry, an administrative position (e.g. government positions within ministries or the administration of the E.U.) or for a role in political consultation. Graduates of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness have also proven themselves in other positions, e.g. in banks and consulting firms. Students of Agricultural Economics in Kiel have the freedom to structure their courses flexibly and profit immensely from working in small groups in which they are better able to explore and learn. Often, throughout their course of studies, students are also able to gain direct contact with potential future employers. Kiel's Institute of Agricultural Economics is one of the best agricultural economic institutes in Europe. Bachelor graduates of this discipline often start their professional careers as trainees in the workforce. They can, however, in preparation for a management or research position, also opt to remain and, enrol for a masters degree.

    Environmental Sciences

    Our cultural landscape is influenced by agriculture. How can we continue to maintain and utilize nature in an ecologically and economically sensible way – and, at the same time, sustain natural habitats? The field of Environmental Sciences or Agricultural Landscapes seeks to harmonize these aims with sustainable resource protection for mankind, animals and plants. In striving towards this goal, combined interdisciplinary knowledge is just as important as promoting cooperation among different interest groups within the agricultural sector: ministries, chambers of agriculture, regional conservation authorities, as well as research facilities. The fact that borders are crossed and that E.U. administrative bodies play significant roles in this process goes without saying. Foreign aid and landscape development are also areas which might attract graduates of this field. Natural sciences are unavoidable in this course of study: Soil Science provides in-depth knowledge of soil physics, soil chemistry, land use and soil ecology. Landscape ecology includes the basics of agricultural ecology, vegetation ecology and animal ecology. With the aid of specific case examples within the framework of student projects and accompanying laboratory courses, students gain practical experience, thus exposing them to interdisciplinary, environmentally relevant problems. Water Management illuminates the areas of water and element balance, water balance modelling and the use of geographic information systems for the management of river basins. Farmland Cultivation and Grassland Management focus on location-appropriate agricultural land use and plant production in ecological farming. Methods of planning and economical concepts pertaining to sustainable environmental management complete the picture. The goal of the new masters program in Environmental Management at Kiel's Ecology Center is the education of students who are able to contribute in or lead interdisciplinary work groups geared at solving problems pertaining to the management of natural resources. Upon the completion of their studies, the students possess key competences that qualify them to successfully deal with project-based complex interdisciplinary problems on the regional, national or international level within the private or public sector.

    Nutritional Science

    Logically, food and health are closely linked. Nutritional scientists examine nutritional diseases and illnesses bordering on and accompanying the field of medicine. Nutritionists work within the service sector and offer advice and assistance applicable to daily living, often consulting on the areas of consumption and energy. The development of new products within the food industry naturally lies within the hands of nutritionists because they are able to bring together research results and industrial food production requirements while assuring product quality. Nutritionists also address the problems and challenges of food quality within various associations and lobby groups. The Nutritional Science course of study addresses the areas of eating behaviour, nutritional state, dietary requirements, individual energy consumption as well as the role of diet in illness prevention. Nutritional experts are key in maintaining product quality, food hygiene and compliance with food law. Within the field of food technology, students deal with the concepts of new product development and processes related to gene technology and biotechnology. They take advantage as well of course offerings in the areas of Home Economics and Food Economics. The students profit immensely from close supervision and mentoring in all areas of study. The diverse fields of activity for nutritionists within the areas of research, industry, associations and lobby groups are not limited solely to the German labour market. Positions within international organizations are possible as well.

    Food and Consumer Economics

    Food is the focus of Nutrition and Consumer Economics; however, in contrast to nutritional science, this discipline pays more attention to the industry and consumers. Entrepreneurship is sought after, in particular in the areas of product development, design and quality assurance. The know-how of nutrition economists is highly useful both in self-employment as well as in consulting. A further career chance can be found in consumer counselling: the conveyance of health knowledge and the concept of quality awareness have both anchored themselves within many organizations including health insurance companies and consumer protection organizations. Nutrition economists also utilize their skills in PR and marketing agencies as well as within the realm of professional journalism. Consulting and organizational talents are sought internationally, for example in the struggle against poverty. Study focuses such as Nutrition Economics, Marketing and Market Analysis teach students how markets function and present their characteristics. Current sociopolitical issues are introduced in modules on Consumer Economics, Sociopolitics as well as Consumer and Family Politics. In food-related modules, students become acquainted with manufacturing processes and food ingredients; lectures on Nutrition and Health Economics inform the students on the economical evaluation of health as well as on the origins of nutritionally-rooted illnesses and their prevention.
