Life on Earth depends on solar energy captured by plants - they are the base of most food webs and underpin the functioning of all major ecosystems. Plants release the oxygen we breathe. They convert solar energy into chemical energy, providing us with food, fibres, renewable energy sources, and raw materials for many industries. Plants do not carry out these processes in isolation. When you have graduated from the Master’s Programme in Integrative Plant Sciences you will have the current answers, based on cutting-edge research by our scientists, to these big questions, and more.

Masters in Plant Biology for Sustainable Production

The M.S. (Master of Science) degree in Plant Pathology integrates coursework and research at the intersection of the plant, microbial, and environmental sciences. The program includes a wide range of opportunities in areas ranging from applied, field-based disease management research to lab-based approaches aimed at understanding plant pathogens and their interactions with host plants at the molecular level.

Plant biotechnology is an important tool to solve global problems. How do we produce enough food in the world? How do we develop renewable fuels and manage ecosystems in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner? The Master’s programme in Plant and Forest Biotechnology gives you specialised competence and skills to recognize, understand and find solutions to these challenges.

The master's program draws on an understanding of physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and ecology of the fundamental processes in fruit trees, ornamental plants, flowers, and forest trees. These culminate in the master's thesis, for which the students harness the theoretical tools they acquired in order to explore problems rooted in the practical needs of agriculture and forestry both in Israel and globally.

Implementation of eco-friendly plant production technologies, minimizing the hazards and risks to human health and the environment, is a major challenge worldwide. This challenge is faced by all economic sectors producing or using plants: agriculture, agrifood, cosmetics, pharmaceutics.

You are fascinated by molecular biological research in the plant sciences? You are interested in learning in an international study group? You would like to work on current research projects and immediately apply what you have learned? Do you like to work independently and goal-oriented? Then welcome to the MoPS!

The degree program aims to prepare future Agriculture technicians with high skills and capable of working in the horticultural sector in a global and international context. Students will experience multidisciplinary training and research-led teaching in subjects covering the main aspects of horticultural production and the supply chain with particular attention to environmental sustainability and social and economic protection (People-Planet Profit).

Rapid developments in our understanding of plants and their significance to our wellbeing has been achieved through advances in a range of disciplines including genetics, genomics, cell biology, physiology, ecology and studies on climate change.

MSc in Sustainable Viticulture and Enology aims at deepening the knowledge of students having some background in Viticulture & Enology in terms of new technologies and practices that are breaking into the Wine Value Chain to increase integral sustainability. Biotechnologies, precision approaches, adaptation to climate change, biodiversity, care for vineyard soil health, and conservation are only some of the major topics that the new curriculum will cover.

The Plant Science Master's degree aims at training professionals with a solid and integrated cultural background in basic biology, appropriate for applications in different areas of biology, focusing mainly on plant science. The students will acquire a high level of scientific preparation and in-depth knowledge and skills, taking into consideration molecular and cellular aspects, without neglecting applicative goals such as plant breeding and the protection and preservation of natural plant species.

Subject to Program-specific requirements, the curriculum for the MScAgric degree consists of the following:

The Master of Applied Science (MAppSc) is a 180-point, coursework postgraduate degree. A candidate would normally be a graduate but the degree is also open to those with other relevant qualifications.

Máster Universitario Erasmus Mundus en Sanidad Vegetal en Agricultura Sostenible Este máster está integrado en el Programa Erasmus Mundus y está diseñado por las principales universidades europeas en el campo de la agricultura sostenible, lo que proporciona una enseñanza de alto nivel con las últimas actualizaciones. Con este título, los graduados obtienen la cualificación necesaria para hacer frente a los retos actuales y del futuro en la gestión de la sanidad vegetal en relación a la seguridad alimentaria global.

The goal is to make an educational offer of the second cycle studies in the field of General Horticulture and therefore increase chances in the Polish and international job markets.
