This course will teach you about every element of the food production chain, from plough to plate, while at the same time developing skills you can use in senior management positions in national and international agricultural, agri-business, or agri-food industries.
You'll learn how to collect, analyse and evaluate the information you need to tackle problems and make sound decisions. You'll gain an appreciation of the environmental, moral, ethical and legal issues relevant to the agricultural industry today, along with insight into how agriculture interrelates with society.
The degree is awarded by the University of Glasgow and part-time study is available.
Tutorials and seminars with researchers and consultants are a key feature of this degree course. You'll study topical issues and the latest technological advances in agricultural science in modules like New Perspectives in Plant Protection and Animal Feed Technology.
As you progress, your interaction with specialist research and consultancy staff will increase. To provide an international perspective, you'll also undertake an overseas study tour based on a relevant theme.
In your fourth year you'll produce a research project in a subject of your choice, drawing together everything you've learned.
