Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Agricultural Engineering (Placement Year) (H330)

Agricultural Engineers are the specialists who help solve global challenges which affect all of us, such as feeding a growing population with increasingly scarce resources while protecting the environment.  

Agricultural Engineering students develop machines, technology, systems and environmental solutions to reduce input consumption, increase precision and create sustainable production systems. Students will learn in engineering facilities located at the heart of the commercial farm, home to cutting-edge research. Students will study alongside farmers, agrifood entrepreneurs and environmental consultants, providing students with a network of contacts who will need their problem-solving expertise. Assessment typically includes live industry projects, creating and exhibiting new products, creative portfolios, and applying specialist engineering tools and techniques.  

Students won’t have to wait to put their learning into practice – they will be a member of a team of engineers from day one engaged with real-world scenarios and projects. Supported by an integrated placement year in industry, students will be primed for their future career using personal, technical and professional skills employers have identified as critical to graduate employability in roles such as designing and test the next generation of agricultural machinery and systems e.g. robotic farming, product support engineers, research.
