About

Become the type of farm manager the sector needs through this far-reaching, industry recognised Agriculture programme at Harper Adams University, informed by the latest research, extensive agri-sector networks and expert staff.

Overview

We will support you as you develop the skills needed to manage an increasingly diversified business and embrace a range of responsibilities for enhancing the environment, integrating production within the food chain and maintaining rural communities.

Students studying general Agriculture study a broad range of livestock, crop production and science, and business management modules, together with some marketing and mechanisation. In the first part of the course the focus is on practice on farm with areas of study including animal and crop production systems, bioscience and environmental science for agriculture, an Introduction to farm business management and marketing and agricultural mechanisation.

The later parts of the Agriculture programme at Harper Adams University focus on the applied scientific and business principles that underpin farm practice and the application of practice and principles to case studies to solve real problems. Areas of study include farm animal production science and nutrition, farm animal health and welfare, soil management and crop nutrition, farm business management and economics, business development, people management and sustainable animal and crop production systems. All students undertake an Honours Research Project in their final year in a subject area of interest to them.

Careers

Employability of agriculture graduates is excellent, and there are many diverse career opportunities in all sectors of the food chain. The applied nature of our courses, teaching methods and close links with industry give you the academic, technical and employment skills which are highly sought after by employers.

As an agriculture graduate you may go on to manage farms either at home or elsewhere, for example with Velcourt, Sentry Farming, Beeswax Farming, or G’s Fresh.

Alternatively, you may opt for a career in the support industries: example employers include Frontier Agriculture, NFU, Savills; or advisory services such as DEFRA and ADAS.

Studying agriculture also develops the skills needed for other graduate careers such as accountancy, teaching, journalism or the civil service.
