Greek Code of each Course

Each course has a three-numbered code followed by either the letter C (Compulsory course) or E (Elective course). The first number of each code corresponds to the specialization.

Courses	Greek Code
1. Core (Basic Science)	001-099
2. Animal Production	200-299
3. Agricultural Economics	300-399
4. Hydraulics, Soil Science and Agricultural Engineering	400-499
5. Food Science and Technology	500-599
6. Plant Production	600-699

An odd number at the end of the three-digit code means that the course is taught during the autumn semester, while an even number means that the course is taught during the spring semester.
