Curriculum Overview

Subjects in this Diploma programme are arranged so that foundational knowledge in the first half gives way to applied, specialization-oriented learning in the second half. Core and elective areas include Principles of Agriculture, Horticulture Practices, Soil & Crop Science, Farm Management, covered through a mix of video lectures, printed/digital study material, hands-on assignments and weekend contact sessions. Learners submit assignments and appear for term-end examinations that test both conceptual understanding and applied problem-solving. Undergraduate learners build up from foundational concepts before moving into applied, specialization-specific coursework.

Learning Outcomes

  • Graduates of the Diploma programme are expected to: translate Agriculture & Horticulture theory into workplace practice
  • demonstrate capability in crop and soil management and horticultural practices
  • apply farm planning and agri-produce quality control to real tasks and projects
  • and document or present their work to a professional standard. The emphasis throughout is on practical, job-ready competence rather than purely theoretical knowledge.
