All courses are one-semester and carry the appropriate ECTS number. Within the study program, 2 compulsory courses are studied (Methodology of Scientific Work and Entrepreneurship in Agribusiness) and there is a group of elective courses. Compulsory courses will provide extended knowledge in the field of methodology of scientific research, ie students acquire new knowledge to be able to participate in scientific research, writing scientific and professional papers, to gain knowledge/understanding to identify important business segments – income, expenses, cash flows, financial structure, solvency of investors (producers), business success indicators. The student acquires skills for combining theoretical and practical knowledge of biotechnical-technological elements with economic justification and the possibility of concrete application in practice; specific process of “mastering the craft” – training job professionals to achieve better economic benefits while saving money.

By taking compulsory courses, the student acquires 10 ECTS, and by taking elective courses another 20 ECTS. Professional practice is performed in the second semester (5 ECTS). By making the final – Master thesis, the student can gain 25 ECTS. The total sum of ESTS in the study program is 60.
