Program Goals: Provide an interdisciplinary undergraduate program which will equip graduates with necessary technical competency, effective communication skills, and the ability to adapt to changing needs throughout their careers.

Founded in 1860, the University Faculty of Gembloux is the oldest Belgian institution of teaching and research devoted entirely to agronomy and biological engineering. Activities are organized around four topics: biochemistry and applied biology, plant and animal productions, transformation and valorization of living material, environmental managment.

Graduate programs; undergraduate programs; course materials; position announcements; other resources.

The Plant Sciences Unit is composed of four academic departments: Agronomy, Entomology, Horticulture, Plant Microbiology & Pathology. Graduate degrees are offered by each of the departments while an undergraduate program in Plant Science is administered by the Unit.

The Departmental programs in undergraduate and graduate instruction, research, and extension have a three-fold mission: to improve agricultural productivity; to manage wisely the soil resources; and to maintain environmental quality.

Farm Energy Centre (FEC) operating as a division of its holding company FEC Services Ltd, is the UK's leading source of information on the application of energy based techniques in farming and horticulture. FEC works with farmers, utilities, research institutes and manufacturers providing expertise on energy applications and energy efficiency. FEC activities include work on energy efficiency, energy auditing, product development testing and evaluation, research and development, installation design, communication and energy brokering. We provide advisory services direct to farmers on behalf of a number of utility and trade clients, supporting the development of energy applications, safety and energy efficiency.

Our staff consists of 40 faculty members (including joint appointments), 7 academic specialists, 27 post-docs, and 60 administrative and support personnel. We offer two undergraduate majors, two Agricultural Technology Certificate programs, two Masters programs, and three Doctoral programs, enrolling approximately 300 students.
