This programme has been designed to equip students with technical and management skills to enter the agricultural supply chain. There is a focus on business productivity and sustainability, the global market, the supply chains it supports, agricultural management systems, enterprise development and entrepreneurship.
A focus on the management of the practical and technical skills already gained either in the workplace or via previous associated courses, this programme aims to develop effective employees and future leaders of the
industry through an understanding of the external influences affecting all land-based industries and the impact of these factors.
With an increasing population to feed, sustainable agricultural practice is more than ever at the forefront of global food production. Continuing advances in science and technology, environmental considerations and diverse land-based activities and enterprises emphasis the need for those working in the agricultural and allied industries to develop high level technical knowledge and forward-thinking management skills and abilities in both a domestic and global context.

Tuition Fee
GBP 14,000 / yearIf you want to apply for a full time BSc Degree, Foundation Degree or HND course, you need to submit your application via UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) on the UCAS website.
You can ask your teacher or careers adviser to help if you’re at school or college. If you’re not at school or college but are based in the UK, you can apply online independently. You will need to pay the correct fee and supply the name of the academic reference (who will be contacted directly by UCAS) and then submit your application. The UCAS website provides full instructions on the application process and also has a comprehensive guide called ‘Applying Online’.
For international applicants from outside the UK (within the EU and worldwide), you should also apply online independently unless your school or college is registered with UCAS. Again, you are responsible for paying the correct fees, obtaining and attaching the academic reference and submitting the completed application to UCAS. Further help and advice is available from British Council offices.
