About the faculty

The Faculty of Agromediterranean began its work in 1997/1998 as a teaching and scientific higher education institution. academic year. The beginning of the work appears as the need of the region for young experts, who will develop specific fruit-growing, viticulture and vegetable-flower production in the agro-ecological conditions of the sub-Mediterranean part of BiH. The plans and programs of the Faculty of Agromediterranean are made with the aim of providing knowledge and skills in the field of specific Mediterranean cultures and the introduction of new breeding technologies.

The great potential of the Mediterranean part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with its specific agricultural production and the peculiarities of agro-ecological conditions, is imposed by the cultivation of annual and perennial crops characteristic of this climate, as well as production in protected areas. With the development of study programs, the Faculty of Agromediterranean strives to educate experts trained for all jobs in modern agricultural food production for its own needs and the needs of tourism. Today, developed countries at a very high technological level introduce these knowledge and achievements in agricultural production, through the introduction of a new range and new modern production methods, so that we through our educational process must adapt to the rapid transfer of knowledge for fruit and wine and vegetable and floristry. production.

Study programs

The Faculty of Agromediterranean has started teaching according to the principles of the Bologna Process in the academic year 2008/09. The faculty organizes and conducts first and second cycle studies in three directions:

• fruit and wine growing;
• vegetable and flower;
• ecology and environmental management in agriculture.

Curricula are designed to ensure absolute mobility of students, between related faculties of Bosnia and Herzegovina and European universities. In the coming period, Bosnia and Herzegovina is expected to join the European Union, so that agricultural production and the educational process should be harmonized with the new European standards. One of the steps is the reform in the education of staff for the needs of agricultural production. Taking into account the above, a curriculum has been created, the same in the first year for three directions, and in the continuation of schooling, specialist subjects are introduced. In the third year, classes are conducted theoretically and practically on our training ground, and in companies that deal with primary agricultural production. The capacities of the companies doo Jaffa komerc and doo Hercegovinalijek are used, with which the faculty has an agreement for conducting practical classes.
