The degree has a core programme of crop production, animal production and business management and marketing, but with considerable flexibility in the range of optional modules available. We take an applied approach, building up your science, business and practical knowledge over the three years of the course.
From the second year of the degree, through your research project, you have the chance to get involved in the agricultural science or business
management research work of the School of Biosciences. Your project can be undertaken on the University Farm, where we have 450
hectares of arable, dairy, sheep, woodland and environmental stewardship enterprises.
As part of our applied approach, teaching and field trips involve staff from the University Farm, as well as the wide range of research and business organisations with whom we have strong links.
The course is based at Sutton Bonington Campus, also home to the University Farm and Dairy Centre.
