Agriculture

A dynamic and diverse industry that requires sustainably-minded, business aware and technologically focused graduates.

Progressive science and developments in precision farming technology, alongside wider environmental considerations and diverse business enterprises, focus the need for the development of highly skilled, technically-competent graduates.

Factors such as global population growth, economic and political shifts, as well as environmental change and rapid developments in technology emphasise the need for resilient and adaptive graduates in agriculture.

This is not only reflected in the growing number of graduates required, but also in the increasingly diverse range of careers available to them. Recent graduates have been offered positions as assistant farm managers, trainee consultants in crop and livestock production, trainee agronomists and trainee business consultants, while others have found employment in livestock auction markets and agricultural retail and supply businesses.
