Course Curriculum
What a student actually studies at MAU, semester by semester, and how the credits are put together.
A four-year degree built on eight semesters.
The B.Sc. Agriculture (Hons.) programme runs over four years, divided into eight semesters. Each semester carries a set of courses with a stated credit weight, and each course is split between theory and practical — in agriculture the practical half is not an add-on, it is where the subject is actually learned.
The early semesters lay the basic sciences and the foundation subjects; the middle semesters go into the disciplines — agronomy, horticulture, plant pathology, entomology, soil science, animal science, agricultural economics and extension; and the final year brings them together in field problems, an internship on working farms, and a project.
The curriculum is approved by the Academic Council, and revisions are proposed by the departments through the Dean's Office. The approved course structure and the detailed syllabus of each course are published through the university's notice board.
