A transformative role in the community and region, fostering a symbiotic relationship between academic pursuits and the practical needs of the local population. Providing access to laboratories, research facilities and expertise, the program provides education and training opportunities for young people and interested groups through regular studies, workshops and seminars on careers in environmental agriculture. Our institution’s commitment to academic excellence and quality of studies by providing students with a solid foundation in this field. Developing leaders with a global perspective in fields such as agriculture and the environment, where global issues such as food security, sustainability of agricultural production and security are critical considerations.

Teaching and learning methods: The teaching philosophy at UBT is constructivist and professors engage students in a process of constructing their own knowledge by interacting with the learning environment instead of absorbing knowledge from the professor as a mere knowledge transferer. The following techniques should be undertaken by the academic staff of UBT College:

• Active learning techniques, such as problem-based learning and inquiry-based learning, can help promote deeper understanding of course material.
• Encouraging students to think critically and analyze information, rather than simply memorizing facts.
• Major subjects are practice-oriented and typically organized as laboratory-based courses that assume active participation in practical tasks and teamwork, including creative and research tasks.
• Incorporating multimedia resources, such as videos, images and animations, collaborative learning activities such as group projects can help improve learning outcomes.
• Encouraging students to apply the knowledge and skills they are learning across disciplines can lead to greater elaboration, integration and generalization of the material.
• Providing students with specific and challenging goals can increase their motivation to achieve them.
• Giving students feedback on their performance can help them identify areas for improvement and increase their motivation to succeed.
• Giving students the opportunity to choose their own learning activities or projects can increase their motivation by giving them a sense of autonomy.
• Collaboration – Encouraging students to work together on projects or assignments can increase their motivation as they feel a sense of belonging and can share their knowledge and skills.
• Making the learning process more interactive: Engaging students in discussions, debates and group activities can increase their motivation as they feel more connected to the material.
• Field visits and practical placements are important features of the teaching and learning process. Opportunities for interactive learning are enhanced through project-based learning, case study analysis, visiting speakers, group work, and e-learning. The use of these teaching methods is made possible by a favorable teacher-student ratio and small classes. Our emphasis on practical and industry-relevant knowledge is a key feature of the educational programs.
• Encourage self-reflection – Allowing students to reflect on their learning process and progress can help them understand their strengths and weaknesses and increase their motivation to improve.
