Introduction Explore how fresh food and flowers are grown and transported, and approaches to sustainability, with our MSc Crop Production (Horticulture) at ARU Writtle. The production horticulture industry has seen great change in recent years, in terms of technology, production techniques, and where and how crops are grown. With population growth and climate change, it’s vital to continue investigating new growing systems and crops which can be grown sustainably. As a student at ARU Writtle you’ll have access to a research glasshouse, our campus farm and the Postharvest Unit, which undertakes research and trials with commercial companies. We’ll also arrange visits to growers and post-harvest facilities. This gives you the opportunity to study a range of crops and develop an understanding of the supply chain from field through to sale. On campus, you’ll hear from visiting speakers and build your awareness of the latest trends and research in industry. Our Masters degree is ideal if you want to develop your knowledge of crop production, and take the next step in your career. Study your postgraduate degree at ARU and gain an advanced level of knowledge and skills to enhance your career prospects. We offer practical, industry-focused courses that are informed by staff expertise, our sector links, and the latest research. Our MSc Crop Production (Horticulture) is taught at Writtle, a friendly and welcoming campus set in the beautiful Essex countryside, just two miles from Chelmsford with its excellent train links to London and East Anglia.
Students need a first degree, with honours, in a related subject such as agriculture, horticulture or environmental sciences and at a minimum final classification of lower second (2:2) or equivalent. Applicants with a first honours degree in another discipline but with significant work experience will also be considered.
