Course Summary
Newcastle University’s Agriculture with Farm Business Management BSc degree program prepares students for careers in modern agriculture and agribusiness. The first part of the program is dedicated to agriculture as a science. You’ll study soil science, plant biology, and nutrition. You’ll also take your first steps into agribusiness, learning about management, law and accounting. Later in the program you’ll study the business side almost exclusively.
You will have the opportunity to experience many of the major software systems used to plan, control and optimise farms of all sizes in the industry today, with several demonstrations and practical workshops.
You can increase your employability dramatically by opting in to a placement year, where you will do paid work in an appropriate industrial or commercial role.
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.
