You will delve into critical issues such as the human exploitation of the Earth’s resources, poverty alleviation and food security, and the ethical and cultural implications of policy development. You will study five core modules covering understanding and improving agricultural and food supply systems. You can then select three electives to enable further specialisation including crops, livestock, management, and different system approaches.
If you are interested in studying Agriculture but cannot commit to the full MSc programme then studying for a Certificate (PgCert) may be the route for you. It is designed to give learners a broad and thorough grounding in the sector to pursue a variety of careers.

International organisations - United Nations (UN), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) etc
Government departments in various countries
NGOs internationally - Envrionment Agency, National Farmers' Union (NFU), Country Landowners Association (CLA) etc
