Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Agriculture (Sandwich Year)

The world is changing. Feeding an increasing population against a backdrop of different weather patterns induced by climate change presents a major challenge to the farming industry’s future. This course focuses on innovative approaches to agriculture, providing students with the skills and knowledge needed to apply sustainable agriculture practices and play a part in global food security. Designed in consultation with the National Trust – one of the largest landowners in the UK – it gives students the opportunity to study on the University’s 200-hectare farm and rural estate, based at the Brackenhurst Campus. Here, students will develop and devise new techniques and technologies to enhance sustainable agricultural production.

Students will also have the opportunity to learn from visits and placements with a range of partner organisations. These will give students a broad knowledge of where the sector is and where it needs to go in the future.

Please be advised that this course includes a sandwich year, which will be studied during the student's undergraduate degree.
