The main focus is on natural sciences, i.e. natural history, the conservation and sustainable use of land and animal resources, including traditional agriculture, horticulture and forestry, environmental and landscape planning, restoration sciences, and sustainable development, The AUI awards B.Sc. degrees in these fields, and is entitled to award MS and PhD degrees as well as providing vocational and continuing education.
The overall role of AUI is to pursue high quality education in our academic fields supported by competitive nationally and internationally oriented research programs.
