Digital Farming

The MSc in Digital Farming at Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences in Freising prepares graduates to address challenges in modern agriculture through the application of robotics, artificial intelligence, and digitalisation. The programme combines agricultural science and technical knowledge with a specialisation in AI, robotics, and their implementation in farming contexts. The four-semester curriculum begins with foundations in plant production, animal production and welfare, programming, data literacy and sensors, and international agricultural production systems. The second semester moves to artificial intelligence, agricultural robotics, precision livestock and arable farming, and project management. The third semester deepens AI knowledge, adds an applied digital farming project, and offers elective courses. The fourth semester is reserved for the Master's thesis and colloquium. The programme is managed by the Department of Sustainable Agricultural and Energy Systems and taught by both agricultural and technological specialists. Entry to the winter semester is available once a year in October, with applications open from early May to 7 June. Graduates are qualified for specialist and management positions in research and development, product management, marketing and sales, agricultural consultancy, agri-tech companies, public administration, and international organisations. The programme is located at Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences in Freising, Germany.
