All our degrees have a similar first year, designed to give you a strong foundation in the core sciences, maths and economics needed for the rest of your studies. Science modules are taught on the basis that you have not studied the subject before.

 

First year core subjects include: 

• Animal Biology & Evolution
• Cell & Plant Biology
• Physics
• Mathematics for Agriculture
• Introductory Chemistry
• Agricultural Economics & Business
• Information Skills
• Agricultural Science Optional Modules.

 

In second, third & fourth year you specialise in one of the programme areas listed above. Details are listed on the individual programme pages.

 

Students spend an average of 40 hours a week attending lectures,  tutorials and laboratory-based practicals, and undertake independent study.

 

A combination  of  continuous assessment and end-of-trimester written examinations is used. Certain modules also require project work.
