Agriculture (with Foundation Year)

Anglia Ruskin University

Help meet the growing demand for food, by learning to produce crops in a profitable but sustainable way. Study our BSc (Hons) Agriculture degree at ARU Writtle. Our course recognises changes in UK agriculture in the wake of recent policy developments, and the impact of climate change. It covers all aspects of arable and livestock farming, as well as the wider environment in which production will be taking place. We explore food production systems and precision farming – but also the economic, social and environmental sustainability of production practices, food security, consumer behaviour and supply chains. Study at ARU Writtle, where our farm and field facilities support hands-on learning and sustainable practice. They’re an 'open laboratory' where you can observe, experiment, analyse, evaluate and gain the skills that employers want. We work collaboratively with external companies and organisations, so that you graduate ready to work in the agricultural industry.
