Post-Graduate Certificate [Education (PGCE): Primary with Mathematics] From University of Roehampton

At the Univerisity of Reading studying the BSc AgricultureÊwill focus on animal science and production, crop science and production, agri-environment or agri-business, or tailor your course to your own interests by combining these areas.

You'll have the opportunity to visit a wide range of local farming businesses, rural estates and businesses in the related sectors including WaitroseÕs Leckford Estate, Sygenta and NIAB TAG. Visiting speakers include those at the forefront of the industry from agronomists to those involved in the livestock and dairy sectors, giving you the chance to network and build relationships while you learn.

In one of our most popular modules you will grow a winter cereal, test it in the lab for quality and then sell it to merchants. You will also complete a week-long study tour to a different part of the country to look at different farming enterprises as part of this degree.

In the final year, your dissertation allows you to choose a subject that inspires and interests you. This could involve a farm, including your home farm, research at the University or an enterprise that youÕve had contact with during the course.

Outside of the curriculum, the student-run Agri-club runs the UKÕs largest student conference. It gives you the opportunity to debate key issues like food security and self-sufficiency and get your voice heard.
