Master of Science Program in Agronomy

About the program

The Department of Agronomy was established together with the Faculty of Agriculture and Kasetsart University in 1943 — Thailand's first faculty of agriculture — and is currently ranked 162nd in the QS Asia University Rankings 2024. Amid rapid social and technological change and increasingly variable and degraded natural conditions, the Department focuses its teaching, research and academic services on modern agriculture using advanced and precision technologies to improve efficiency and productivity, in partnership with government agencies, the private sector, farmers, and alumni.

The Master of Science Program in Agronomy aims to produce graduates with advanced knowledge and research skills in agronomy, capable of analyzing, synthesizing, and creating new knowledge to develop the country's field crop production.

Two plans are offered: Plan A Type A2 (thesis) and Plan B (non-thesis).
