Dual education plays a key role in the professional training of students at Sumy National Agrarian University, combining theoretical training with practical skills, which is extremely important for the agricultural sector. This format allows students to gain valuable experience directly at agricultural enterprises, which significantly increases their competitiveness in the labor market.
