Course programme
What Will I Learn
Tutorials and seminars with researchers and consultants will be a feature of the degree course. You will study topical issues and the latest technological advancements in agricultural science in modules such as New Perspectives in Plant Protection and Animal Feed Technology.
How Will I Learn
The first two years follow the HND Agriculture course. As you progress through the degree years, your exposure to and interaction with specialist research and consultancy staff will increase. To provide an international perspective, you can undertake an overseas study tour based on a relevant theme.
Honours Projects
In your fourth year you will undertake your own research project in a subject which interests you, drawing together all that you have learnt on your course. Topics covered are varied: recent Honours Projects have included a feasibility study into the conversion of a sheep farm to commercially produce biomass, an investigation into the consumers perception of milk pricing mechanisations in the North East of Scotland, and an investigation into double table-top substrate strawberry production.
