Course Aims Foundation Degree awards encourage the integration of work based learning with traditional academic delivery. This award prepares students for a wide range of careers in the agriculture industry and service organisations. The course is designed to give students an opportunity to undertake a range of modules that will result in knowledge of farm resource management and livestock production. On successful completion of the course, students will have an understanding of the broad principles underpinning general farm production whilst monitoring environmental and commercial viability. This will be complemented by the skills and self-awareness developed whilst working within the industry.
Course Content Students will study modules such as 'Managing Farm Resources'. Additional modules will cover the production of traditional and alternative livestock species, land and resource management, sustainability and conservation issues. The graduate will be an educated agricultural practitioner who will be flexible, innovative and creative in the commercial management of business, land, environmental and related resources.
Special Features This programme will instil considerations of business principles, environmental impact and sustainability into all facets of agricultural practice. It aims to produce graduates capable of decision-making based on the knowledge accrued and applied to the workplace.
Career Prospects There is a high demand for well-qualified Agriculture graduates and this provision will support a varied industry; nutrition & breeding companies, commodity traders; sales companies, food companies, machinery dealers and commercial farming production companies all seek graduates from Writtle College every year. Students who successfully complete the Foundation Degree will be able to progress into the final year of the BSc (Hons) award.
