Agriculture, Environment & Veterinary Science

Agriculture focuses on the study of food, crops, and their production, encompassing aspects such as the earth, animals, nutrition, environment, and disease epidemics. Veterinary, on the other hand, revolves around the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, malfunctions, and injuries in animals.

Students pursuing Agriculture and Veterinary degrees engage closely with nature, requiring observation, examination, testing, analysis, experiments, and other sophisticated skills. A significant advantage of studying agriculture is the opportunity to travel and work in diverse climates worldwide, while veterinary students must be comfortable handling animals due to the nature of diagnosis and treatment involved.

To qualify for Agriculture or Veterinary Medicine programs, students typically need a background in biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, economics, and business. With the growing global awareness of environmental issues and a return to nature-centric lifestyles, Agriculture and Veterinary professions are gaining popularity among international students.
