    Course Summary

    An MBA in Advanced Farm Management from the Royal Agricultural University is an excellent follow-on to their BS in Applied Farm Management, but can be approached by students with nearly any undergraduate degree at 2:1 or better, or the international equivalent. This program if fully accredited by the Chartered Management Institute, and is a great way for those who are already working in the agricultural sector or who have a farming background to make the career leap into agribusiness and farm management.

    The program is transatlantic in nature, as you can take the first of three semesters in the USA at Utah State University. This is optional, and all US immigration prerequisites would also have to be met.
