Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Agriculture (Placement Year) (D400)

Agriculture has a vital role to play in global food production and security, climate change mitigation, environmental protection, water management and renewable energy creation. 

Agriculture students are taught by lecturers with extensive industry and research experience to develop and manage sustainable production systems integrating appropriate technologies to maximise economic, social and environmental security. Students will be studying in a diverse range of learning spaces located at the heart of the Future Farm alongside students from a wide range of rural and urban backgrounds, whilst establishing a life-long network of friends and professional contacts. 

Students will soon be putting their learning into practice engaging with real-world scenarios and projects from day one. Supported by an integrated placement year in industry, students will be ready for their future career having developed a range of personal, technical and professional skills that today’s employers value. Students will be well prepared for careers in farm management, on-farm advisory and consultancy roles, the agri-food industry and both agriculture and environmental policy roles. Additionally, this degree will equip students with the skills to continue in research or education.
