Plant production
Crop Production, Plant Breeding, Plant Nutrition, Crop Protection, Agricultural Engineering in Plant Production, Grassland, Arboriculture, Horticulture, Vegetable Gardening, Viticulture, and Specialised crops.
Animal production
Animal breeding, Animal Husbandry, Agricultural Technology Animal Production, Animal health, Animal nutrition, Special animal species, Beekeeping and health, and Farm animal behaviour.
Fisheries and Aquaculture
Freshwater fisheries, Pond fisheries, Marine fisheries, Raceways systems, Recirculation systems, and Mariculture.
Forestry
