Learn about the essential science of agriculture and the future of this crucial industry, gaining practical experience of crop and livestock farming and developing skills in modern machinery.

With countries now growing more of their own food, the science of agriculture has a vital role to play in society. This degree will give you in-depth knowledge of agriculture combined with practical experience in crop and livestock farming.

Throughout the course, you'll have access to farm resources, including a dairy herd, a commercial sheep flock, and approximately 180 hectares of farmland. You'll learn how to make informed decisions for profitable and sustainable outcomes.

The course is offered by one of the university's partner colleges: Hadlow College in Kent.

Graduates can engage with agriculture industries in the UK and Europe and use their intellect and skills to work effectively with all stakeholders throughout the food chain. These industries are currently in need of graduates and the current shortages mean that students with the critical skills gained from this degree are able to develop successful management careers across production, advisory, post-harvest, processing and retail sectors.
