Agricultural Technology
BSc (Hons) Agricultural Technology (D473)
BSc (Hons) Agricultural Technology with Professional Studies (D470)
The agricultural industry is undergoing an unprecedented period of change. Traditional reliance on production is being challenged through changes in government policy at local, national, European and world levels and consumer demand. Agricultural production now requires an understanding of consumer demands and concerns regarding food quality and safety and the environmental impact of production methods in the short, medium and long term. These degrees are intended to provide the widest graduate opportunities for students interested in the agricultural, agri-environmental and related industries.
The teaching programme has been developed in consultation with employers, industry and academics to offer students a combined curriculum of formal instruction and practical experience, which is designed to enhance employability and graduate skills. Available in two pathways, the 3 year course incorporates a 16 week work placement whilst the 4 year ‘Professional Studies’ course includes a 46 week work placement.
