Agriculture, Horticulture and Veterinary Studies
Masters degrees in agriculture, horticulture and veterinary studies cover programmes that focus upon how land is cultivated for farming, and the management of crops and livestock as well as fisheries.
The care and husbandry of animals for domestic and commercial use is closely related to medicine, and students that undertake to become Vets undertake intensive study and training with animals to care and diagnose conditions that they may encounter once they qualify as veterinary carers or surgeons.
However its more than managing the land for crops or livestock. Experts in the care and management of sports pitches and playing surfaces owe their expertise to the study of soils and turf, and UK grounds staff work at the most famous stadia and biggest clubs in the world.
Each of these degrees requires students who are competent in science, and the courses include modules which focus on the practical aspects of their study as well as the traditional academic research and tuition.
