Agricultural University of Athens 2006 - 2013

Field of study: Agriculture/Animal Science
Degree: Master's equivalent

During my 5-year studies at the Agricultural University of Athens, I was trained in general Agriculture courses as well as specialized courses in Animal Science. A four-month practical training was compulsory in order to graduate which I fulfilled successfully. Through Erasmus exchange program I was able to spend three months at the Department of Physiology, Biochemistry and Animal Health of Kaposvar University in Hungary. There I had three additional months of practical training. My Thesis title was "Brown Adipose Tissue of Sheep". I graduated in June of 2013 with the grade of 7.61/10.
