    Course Summary

    The Royal Agricultural University’s BSc in Applied Farm Management is designed to make the next generation of farmers, farm managers and land-based consultants more effective and more successful in every way possible. It forms the core learning that you’ll need to build a successful career in the agricultural or land-based sector of the UK or global economy.

    You’ll learn in the classroom to be sure, but you’ll also engage in frequent field trips and site visits, exploring agribusinesses and enterprises that deal with crops and livestock first hand. This will help to bridge the gaps between your business, science and land management subjects, and give you a real sense for how the agricultural sector of the economy operates. This program includes a 20 week working placement as a part of year 2. This will be vital to gaining a real appreciation of the industry, and finding your place within it.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
