The Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Maribor was formed in 1995 from the College of Agriculture, founded in 1960.
FAM offers undergraduate and postgraduate education. Undergraduate three-year professional higher education study programmes (Agronomy, Livestock Production, Agricultural Engineering) last six semesters and graduates receive the title ‘dipl, ing’. The four-year university study programme General Agriculture lasts four semesters and graduates receive the title ‘univ. dipl. ing.’. Courses leading to Master’s degrees (Agronomy, Agricultural Economics) take two years.
The location of FAM, in the centre of the most important agricultural region of Slovenia, facilitates a good combination of theory and practice and enables the application of academic knowledge to practical work.
The faculty has been entrusted with the management of an agricultural estate "Pohorski dvor and Meranovo", on which the Maribor University Agricultural Centre has been established. It is located at the foot of Pohorje about 2 km from Maribor and covers 155 hectares (ha) of arable land and 240 ha of forests. Most practical work activities and also basic and applied research projects are carried out there.
