There are excellent job prospects in the banking industry, large agribusiness firms, agribusiness consultancies, state and federal governments, commodity trading companies, humanitarian organisations and agencies such as the United Nations.

The programme of study aims to prepare students for scientific careers in the public and the private sectors of Northern Cyprus now and Federal States of Cyprus and EU in the future.

Some examples of potential public employers of our graduates will include the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment (MANRE) (Dept. of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Institute, Dept. of Fisheries and Marine Research), the Agricultural Insurance Organization, the Agricultural Payments Organization, and the State General Chemistry Laboratory.

In the private sector, graduates will be able to either develop independent professional careers (e.g. agricultural consultants, seed / plant protection companies, greenhouse units, nurseries, landscape design, micro propagation labs, aquaculture units, food labs).

In addition, graduates could be employed by private companies or by large agricultural and livestock enterprises, and food and beverage industries, such as wineries and dairy industries.
