    About

    Agriculture has a vital role to play in global food production and security, climate change mitigation, environmental protection, water management and renewable energy creation.

    Our Agriculture with Livestock Production Science students are taught by lecturers with extensive industry and research experience to develop sustainable animal production systems, integrating appropriate technologies to maximise economic, social and environmental security. You will be studying in a diverse range of learning spaces located at the heart of our University Farm alongside students from a wide range of rural and urban backgrounds, whilst establishing a life-long network of friends and professional contacts.

    From the outset you will be putting your learning into practice, engaging with real-world scenarios and projects from day one. Supported by an integrated placement year in industry, you will be ready for your future career, having developed a range of personal, technical and professional skills that today's employers value. You will be well prepared for farm-based employment as livestock enterprise and farm managers, and commercial and technical positions in the animal nutrition, breeding and health sectors. Additionally, your degree will equip you with the skills to continue in research or education.
