The course
If you are interested in agricultural machinery and technology and see your career focusing on the management and application of farm machinery, rather than engineering, this is the route for you.
The first part of the course provides a general introduction to agriculture in terms of animal and crop production, underpinning biological and environmental science, an introduction to farm business management and marketing and agricultural mechanisation.
In the second part of the course you start to specialise in the area of mechanisation studying areas such as farm machinery technology, hydraulics and electrics, and mechanisation aspects of soil and farm infrastructure. The mechanisation aspects are studied alongside more general aspects of agriculture such as waste management, crop production and science and farm business management.
In the final year the specialisation in mechanisation is developed further, studying areas such as science technology and information systems, measurement and control systems, applied mechanisation projects in association with industry, and a research project with a mechanisation focus. The mechanisation modules are studied alongside crop production and crop protection modules.
The principles of mechanisation are developed in an applied way without the use of complex mathematics.
