General Description
Field Crops Department is founded at Agricultural Vocational High school, Bursa in 1981 and, one year later education started in breeding, sowing, standardization, production, harvest and storage of the field crops (cereals, industrial plants, leguminous plants, and pulses edible legumes), range management, forage crops areas. In addition, tissue culture, physiology, molecular biology, cytology, medicinal and aromatic plants laboratories are used for education and scientific researches.
It has got 13 lecturers. The education had carried out in 1985-95 at Tezok campus, then moved into Gorukle Campus. Besides undergraduate education in the department, graduate education (MS or PhD) is also instructed. In the Agricultural Research area and experimental station at Gorukle campus, varying species and cultivars of field crops (cereals, industrial crops, leguminous, forage crops etc.) are produced for Research and Development. There are two disciplines in the department. These are; Growing and Breeding of Field Crops, Forage Crops and range management.
The master´s program consists of at least seven courses, not less than 21 credit hours (90 ECTS) and not more than 28 credit hours (120 ECTS), a seminar during the course phase and a thesis study. In addition, the publication condition determined by the Institute of Science must be fulfilled. When the program is completed successfully and the program qualifications are met, a Master´s degree in Field Crops is obtained.
