The Department of Plant Production and Agricultural Environment at the University of Thessaly announces the extension of the application period for the admission of graduate students for the 2026 –2027 to the MSc Program titled “Mediterranean Crop Production Systems” in the following specializations:
- Sustainable Agriculture and Plant Breeding
- Cutting-Edge Fields in Fruit and Vegetable Production
All specializations within the graduate program lead to the award of a Master of Science (MSc) degree (Master of Science—MSc) in “Mediterranean Crop Production Systems” and are designed for those who wish to strengthen their position in the job market, expand their knowledge, or prepare for doctoral-level studies.
The program in “Mediterranean Crop Production Systems” received accreditation from the Evaluation and Accreditation Council of the National Authority for Higher Education (ETHAAE).
The Program in “Mediterranean Crop Production Systems” provides theoretical and practical knowledge for addressing the most significant problems affecting crops due to climate change. Particular emphasis is placed on high-value-added crops, as well as on the integration of innovative technologies into the production process that promote sustainable development. Completion of the M.S. program is expected to contribute to the development of domestic expertise, with a focus on the specific challenges of managing open-field and protected-field crops in the Mediterranean climate. Furthermore, graduates of the program gain expertise in modern production systems through collaborations with businesses.
The duration of the master’s program is two (2) semesters. Admission to the program is open to graduates of departments of Agricultural Sciences, Geotechnical Engineering, Engineering, Environmental Sciences, and Natural Sciences from Greek universities (AEI) and technical colleges (ATEI) or from recognized equivalent institutions abroad.
Courses will be conducted 50% remotely, using modern distance learning methods, and 50% in person from Friday afternoon through Sunday.
