Course Description
The four-year Integrated Masters degree in Agriculture at Aberystwyth University offers you the opportunity to combine a BSc with an extra year of study so that you graduate with a Masters-level qualification. The course will develop the breadth and depth of your agricultural knowledge and prepare you to be a subject specialist, able to make effective use of state-of-the-art innovations within the agricultural industry.
The first three years of the course will follow the same syllabus as BSc Agriculture (H21Y), which is then followed by an additional year of study, after which you will graduate with a Masters-level qualification.
MAg Agriculture offers you detailed coverage of agriculture and agricultural production systems, alongside a range of vitally important subjects such as sustainability, environmental management and technology. It will provide you with the practical and theoretical understanding needed to manage a sustainable business, and will be ready to adopt best practices, informed by current research, to tackle the challenges of livestock and crop management and get the best from your agricultural business.
You will study a fascinating blend of science, technology and management with a firm grounding in animal and crop physiology and husbandry as well as business, economics and land use. You will move on to cover current and projected production systems from a production, financial and environmental perspective, be exposed to best practice and become familiar with the most current research.
You will also become familiar with the role of the Farm Business Survey in comparative analysis and benchmarking - a tool which will be invaluable in your future employment situation, allowing you to compare your farm’s performance and profitability to other farms in the UK and EU.
Aberystwyth is surrounded by a great diversity of farmland and agricultural terrain. The 800 hectare commercially managed university farms provide the setting for your practical learning. This is supplemented by field visits to farms and agricultural and food businesses throughout the UK that are industry leaders in innovation and technical expertise, which will reinforce your academic learning.
The Integrated Masters degree in Agriculture has been specifically created to meet the increasing demand for suitably qualified personnel to work at high level within the agricultural and allied industries. The subject specialist skills developed on this course will allow you to target careers in agricultural consultancy, agronomy, farm management, livestock health and nutrition and all other allied roles. The MAg is also a recognised alternative to MSc for progression to a PhD studentship, as well as an excellent foundation for a career as a professional scientist.
