The Bachelor of Science in Seed Science and Technology is a four-year degree program that focuses on the production, processing, storage and quality improvement of seeds, which play an important role in the field of agricultural sciences. This program is designed to understand the biological and genetic structure of seeds, improve seed technologies and raise quality standards in the seed sector.
During the education process, students are offered basic sciences such as genetics, plant biology, soil science, as well as more specialized courses such as seed technology, seed processing techniques, storage and preservation methods. The program emphasizes modern agricultural techniques and biotechnological methods to support the sustainable production of seeds. In addition, topics such as seed laws, quality control procedures and international seed trade are also addressed, so that students are trained as individuals who are aware of legal and ethical norms in this field.
Students participate in laboratory work and field practices to reinforce their theoretical knowledge. During these practices, they have the chance to test and analyze seeds of various plant species under real conditions and practice various processing techniques. Another important component of the program is internship opportunities. Students gain professional experience through internships in seed production facilities, research centers and related public institutions and gain knowledge about current techniques and practices in the sector.
Seed Science and Technology graduates have various career opportunities in the agricultural sector. In particular, they can work in areas such as seed production, seed control and certification institutions, pesticide and fertilizer production. They can also work in research and development departments in the public and private sectors and pursue academic careers. Having the knowledge and skills to contribute to the food security and sustainable agricultural practices of the society provides an important advantage for the graduates of this program.
