Faculty of Agricultural Technology

Welcome to the Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University (FAT WMSCU). I am proud to briefly introduce the FAT WMSCU which was established in 1986. Currently, the FAT WMSCU organizes 2 (two) study programs, namely the S1 Food Technology Study Program (accredited as EXCELLENT or UNGGUL) and the S1 Biology Study Program (B-accredited).

FAT WMSCU is committed to provide quality higher education to produce graduates who are professional, master science and technology, have high morals and solidarity, and side with the weak. We have produced more than a thousand alumni who work in various industries, work as entrepreneurs, and work as academics both at home and abroad. Various research works and innovations that have impacts on the development of science and technology, as well as the community welfare have been produced by FAT WMSCU. FAT WMSCU has a strong network of cooperation with various industries, government institutions and universities at the national and international level to ensure the implementation of quality education, research, and community services programs.

On this occasion, I invite the younger generation of prospective students to join the FAT WMSCU to prepare themselves to become sustainable learners who are ready to face the challenges and changes in the future that are so fast in the field of agricultural technology. I do not forget to thank all partners and stakeholders who have collaborated and contributed to the process of forming quality FAT WMSCU graduates. May God always be with and bless our efforts and works. Greetings and good health.
