Combine crop and animal production with business management and marketing. At Nottingham we take an applied approach. You'll build your science, business and practical knowledge throughout the course. You will learn how to use the science of agriculture to sustainably tackle global challenges, such as how to feed a growing population.You'll be taught by subject specialists and researchers. This means you'll gain knowledge of the most rapidly developing areas of agriculture. You will benefit from field course modules to develop your practical skills and experience.The scientific and practical skills you'll learn on this course will prepare you for a career in agriculture. We have strong links with industry which can help improve your employability. This includes the opportunity to work on a placement, visit external farms, and be exposed to commercial organisations during assessments.Sutton Bonington Campus is home to the University Farm and Dairy Centre. The farm is commercially run, with facilities for research and teaching. Farm staff contribute to the teaching on our degree programmes.
