Master in Agriculture (MSc)

Students spend several weeks each term working on the campus’s on-site farm, which covers almost 1,000 acres of research fields, gardens and greenhouses, giving direct experience of modern agricultural practice.

The programme benefits from close collaboration with global experts who address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to food security, sustainability and health.

The MSc in Agriculture is normally completed over two years or longer, with full-time and part-time options. It is delivered in person and finishes with a research-focused thesis.
