Anhui Agricultural University (AAU), located in Hefei, Anhui Province, China, is a well-established institution with strong emphasis on agricultural and related life sciences. The university offers a Master’s degree in Pomology as part of its broader postgraduate programs within the College of Agriculture/Horticulture. Pomology is classified as a second-level discipline under the broader Horticulture/Agricultural sciences framework and focuses on the scientific study of fruit tree cultivation, physiology, breeding, and post-harvest handling. At AAU, the program is typically structured as a three-year full-time research-oriented degree, during which students undertake advanced coursework and independent research leading to a thesis. In the Chinese-taught track, all subjects, including Pomology, are delivered in Chinese, covering core topics such as fruit crop biology, orchard management, fruit tree breeding techniques, physiology and biochemistry of fruit development, and practical horticultural technologies. As part of the curriculum, students are expected to develop competencies in both theoretical knowledge and applied skills relevant to fruit production systems, cultivar improvement, and sustainable orchard practices.
