Overview

The Horticulture (with Foundation Year) (Hons) degree from Anglia Ruskin University is ideal if you want to explore different areas of horticulture, and understand the impact of horticulture and plants.

You’ll have access to an extensive plant collection on campus, take part in visits to parks and gardens, and gain experience of commercial trial work. We’ll also encourage you to undertake a summer placement during your course, to further develop your practical skills and knowledge.

Careers

There's a demand for trained horticulturalists and it's an exciting time to be entering the profession.

Research by LANTRA, the sector Skills Council, indicates that over the next few years there will be 3,000 vacancies at graduate level in the horticultural industries. Issues such as food security, climate change, and the relationship between access to green space and the health agenda means the need for trained landscapers and horticulturists will increase.

A high proportion of horticulture graduates find full-time positions within six months of graduating. Some of the roles that the students have gone on to work in include:

local authority parks officers

education officers with the Royal Horticultural Society and local authorities

technical officers in research establishments

field trial officers

journalists

self-employed landscape gardeners.
