This is a full-time practical oriented Masters degree programme aimed at creating a new breed of agricultural practitioners/farmers in Jamaica and the Caribbean. The programme aims to provide students with the tools and skill set necessary to create, resuscitate and/or rehabilitate agricultural enterprises.
The primary aim of this programme is to provide a regionally integrated approach to marine and terrestrial ecosystems management. This will involve the collection and analysis of data required for the detailed study of these areas and the knowledge of biological and other interventions for conservation, monitoring and terrestrial ecosystem resources towards sustainable use.
This programme aims to provide the candidate with (a) sound theoretical knowledge and wide practical experience in methods involved in the physiological aspects of plant production, (b) an understanding of the development of plant disease and pest problems and (c) techniques for maintaining plants in a healthy condition.
Our 7 faculties and 12 professional schools offer more than 200 programmes to some 18,000 graduate, undergraduate and continuing studies students.
