Courses of the Plant Production Systems Group

The Plant Production Systems group is responsible for a wide range of courses, from introductory courses to advanced postgraduate specialist subjects. All courses have a modular, flexible set-up and use a variety of teaching methods: lectures, practicals, computer-based tools, discussion groups, etc..
