Summary
his is a unique opportunity to create your own bespoke, agriculture focussed, course in a way that will help you realise your ambitions, whether you are a student who has already graduated or a professional with plans to advance your career in the rural industries.
Not only will you gain a detailed understanding of the UK agricultural industry, you will be given practical rural skills training at the RAU’s cutting-edge John Oldacre Rural Innovation Centre.
It is likely that you will have already acquired elsewhere a range of intellectual and transferable skills. However, this programme enables you to:
Demonstrate your commitment to the notion of continuing learning Utilise your existing skills in pursuit of new knowledge and understanding Develop new professional skills applicable to agriculture, farming and land management While many graduates find work as farm managers, farm assurance scheme officers and agricultural consultants, to name a few, others wish to progress onto a Masters course.
The course may be studied full-time over one academic year, or part-time over two years. You will complete four compulsory modules, followed by four modules selected from a wide range of undergraduate modules allowing you to tailor the course to meet your career aspirations.
As well as lectures, farm walks and visits, you will work on case studies, assignments, and management projects. Prospective students are strongly encouraged to complete pre-course reading in order to secure a minimum basic knowledge of agriculture and to highlight possible areas of weakness.
