Agriculture with Mechanisation

Top up courses at Harper Adams involve a combination of lectures, tutorials, workshop and laboratory sessions as appropriate for the subject area, together with use of the University Farm to demonstrate principles in practice and the application of scientific, technological and mechanisation principles to commercial agricultural and food production. In addition, the university has extensive links with other agricultural and food-related businesses, and external visits and outside speakers are integrated into the programme. Students are expected to apply the skills acquired to solve real-life problems, such that on completion they are able to demonstrate both academic ability and commercial application, which is a combination highly valued by employers. As part of the programme students undertake a dissertation in a subject area of their choice.

Top-up applicants must have achieved an average of 55% in their Foundation degree to apply for BSc non-honours and 60% to apply for BSc Honours.
Applicants must have completed a full year’s placement as part of their course of study or two years of full-time relevant employment out with the family business after their course.
In addition to meeting the foundation degree requirements, applicants must also satisfy the GCSE and Level 3 entry requirements of our own Foundation degree courses.
