The Faculty of AgriSciences
The Faculty of AgriSciences was the original founding faculty with the establishment of The University of Agriculture in Brno in 1919. The current name of the university, Mendel University in Brno (MENDELU), was promulgated in 2010 to reflect the more comprehensive character that the university has since assumed. For more than one hundred years, MENDELU has been educating experts in the field of agriculture.
We are a comprehensive faculty, with scientists actively involved in a wide spectrum of agri-scientific disciplines. These disciplines range from modern agricultural production sciences, like precision agriculture, plant and animal breeding, crop production, animal husbandry and welfare, robotics, and automation in agriculture, as well as food technology and the development of new food processing techniques for the future. The emphasis we place on environmental health is reflected in our active involvement in waste management, cancer treatment, ecosystem management, climate change and other relevant scientific issues influencing the modern environment.
We actively respond to social questions and changes through adjusting and expanding our range and contents of study programmes, to prepare our graduates with the necessary attributes to effectively compete in the labour market. We place a great deal of emphasis on practical education and training. We have several modern laboratories, greenhouses, food pilot plants, technical testing laboratories, and a functionally producing university research farm with several experimental sites.
