Graduate farmer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Graduate farmer (in the field of horticultural sciences : graduate gardener ) was the university degree that students of agricultural or horticultural sciences could obtain after studying six semesters until 1961 . The course was preceded by a two-year agricultural or gardening apprenticeship, as no admission to the course was granted without evidence of an assistant examination.

By changing the study regulations (example: Lower Saxony for the field of horticulture on November 4, 1961, Lower Min. Bl 1961, 45/1961), the obligation to submit the assistant certificate was lifted, the duration of the internship to be proven to 1 ½ years (later ½ year) shortened and the duration of study increased to 8 semesters.

The academic degrees of certified farmer and certified gardener lasted until the 1970s. As a result of changes to the diploma examination regulations (TU Hannover from October 1, 1970), the academic degree of agricultural engineer (Dipl.-Ing.agr.) Was awarded from 1970 . Upon request, there was the possibility of regrading the old academic degrees to Dipl.-Ing.agr.

Since 2005, the diploma courses have expired within the framework of the Bologna process and a two-stage system with bachelor's and master's degrees has been introduced in the agricultural science faculties in Germany and Austria .
