Career opportunities
The graduate is able to implement the following functions:
- Conducting an agroclimatic analysis to assess the agroclimatic conditions of the territory in order to identify trends in climate change.
- Scientific research and consulting in the field of agroclimatology, agroecology and agrotechnology.
- Formation of information databases and territorial monitoring systems for agroclimatic indicators and their visualization using modern GIS technologies.
- Development and implementation of sustainable technologies and models of agricultural production management, taking into account climatic and environmental factors.
- Design of an agroclimatic monitoring system for obtaining data.
- Strategic planning of adaptation of agro-industrial enterprises to climate change and development of recommendations for the implementation of the strategy.
- Modeling of climatic conditions and agroclimatic processes in order to predict the productivity and sustainability of agricultural landscapes using modern digital technologies (including digital twin technology, intelligent big data processing technologies).
- Designing digital models to optimize agricultural processes (crop rotation, irrigation and fertilizer use, etc.) with the integration of modern digital solutions into their management (IoT, agribusiness, machine learning).
- Forecasting the dynamics of changes in crop production and making recommendations on the rational use of soils, machinery, fertilizers, and personnel.
- Decision-making based on the analysis of agroclimatic data to ensure sustainable rural development and facilitate their implementation.
- Assessment of agroclimatic risks and development of recommendations for adaptation of agriculture to changing climatic conditions.

Rankings
The SFedU operates a point-ranking system for assessing students' knowledge during the ongoing control and interim assessment of students’ progress. Students can see their scores in their personal account. The ranking of students by points is taken into account when switching to a non-fee form of training.
Practical training
During their studies, students take a practical training in the form of a research project, an internship at a partner company, and a pre-diploma training, aimed at preparing their Master thesis.
State final attestation
The state final attestation is a public defense of the Master thesis before the commission. The commission includes teachers and representatives of business structures and other universities.
