Overview
The agricultural industry is changing rapidly and in recent years advances in technology have led to an abundance of food production in the western world. This, together with changes in support mechanisms under the Agriculture Act, will affect farm incomes, the countryside, rural communities and the public purse. Increasingly farmers will need to maximise business efficiency and look to diversify their businesses and find alternative uses for rural land.
After a common first year, in the second year of the Agriculture with Farm Business Management programme of Harper Adams University you will start to specialise in the area of farm business management, studying areas such as farm business management and economics, farm business operation and planning and market and supply chain considerations, whilst continuing to study more general aspects of agriculture, such as animal and crop production science, grass and forage production and waste management.
Following placement, in your final year specialisation in farm business management continues, studying farm business strategy, business diversification and people management. You will also undertake an Honours Research Project in a subject area that aligns to your interests and ambitions.
Careers
The course provides consultants and farm business managers of the future with the farm business management skills and an appreciation of agricultural systems and the wider rural environment required for a career in farm business management.
