Overview

Efficient crop production remains key to sustained and effective use of rural resources. However, over recent years crop management systems have undergone considerable change. The emphasis has shifted away from purely commercial objectives, and modern crop managers must increasingly justify inputs and assess the impact of their activities on the environment. These new demands are challenging and complex and require highly skilled and knowledgeable individuals to manage them successfully.

After a common first year, in your second year you will start to specialise in crop science and agronomy, studying areas such as soil management and crop nutrition, crop protection, crop physiology and fresh produce production, whilst continuing to study more general aspects of agriculture, such as grass and forage production, waste management and farm business management and economics.

In the final part of the Agriculture with Crop Management programme of Harper Adams University, your specialisation becomes complete and the focus is on crop management, studying areas such as sustainable crop production, advances in agronomy, crop breeding, post-harvest technology and a research project focused on crop management.

Careers

The applied nature of the course and practical experience gained during the placement period will give you skills the industry needs. You could choose from a variety of careers, working for a multi-national company or small rural business as an agronomist, technical representative or trainee arable farm manager, amongst others.
