Course at a glance

The complexity of agricultural management is tightened by many factors including global population growth, transforming economic and political circumstances, environmental change and rapid developments in technology.

What you will learn

The need for well-trained and educated graduates in agriculture therefore continues to grow. This growth is not only reflected in the number of graduates required but also by the increasingly diverse range of careers available to them.

The BSc (Hons) Agriculture is a multidisciplinary programme designed to provide the knowledge, technical skills and practical abilities required by agriculture and its related industries. In the first year, the programme offers a solid grounding in plant, animal and business based agriculture subjects and also in the critical thinking and academic skills essential for success both in higher education and industry.

Making use of the on campus facilities, University Centre Askham Bryan has access to Westfield Farm (114 hectares) with a milking herd of 200 cows and 200 breeding ewes. Cropping cycle included a range of cereals, grass, sugar beet and occasional root crops.

Progression

Students studying the course may enter a wide variety of roles in the industry such as an agricultural consultant, farm manager, livestock breeding specialist, technical advisor.

Many students may progress further onto a Masters, PhD or other professional body courses.

Assessment

Assessments will be designed to give students the opportunity of performing tasks that they would be asked to do in employment.

There is a range of assessment methods used including reports, case studies, presentations, Viva -Voce, continual assessments and exams. Typically each module involves two assessments.
