Applicants for admission to this second-degree programme, under the Bioengineering in Animal Science specialty, are expected to hold a first university degree in animal husbandry or animal science. All candidates must present a language certificate from a recognized language school or take an English examination at the University of Agriculture. Admission numbers are limited to 15 people, keeping groups small enough to support individual working relationships between students and teachers, and students' progress is evaluated on the basis of their active participation in and contribution to the programme.

Animal husbandry as a discipline covers the breeding, feeding, and management of livestock, combining biology, nutrition, and production science. Graduates of programmes in this area typically move into roles in livestock production management, agricultural extension services, breeding organizations, and research positions connected to animal science and bioengineering.
