While the world population continues to grow rapidly, the food industry relies heavily on crop farmers to meet the ever increasing demand for food. Crop farmers face many challenges, such as erosion, soil deterioration, drought, insect pests and plant diseases. They look to budding assistant plant breeders, assistant researchers and seed production specialists to develop resilient crop cultivars that ensure sustainable crop production. Our exchange programme in Plant Breeding provides you with an international learning experience and the opportunity to add value to your undergraduate programme. It is part of a bachelor’s degree programme with the same name and teaches you all there is to know for a career in plant breeding and plant production.
