Course Description

Our BSc Agriculture with International Foundation Year course covers everything that impacts production in the supply chain while considering global goals relating to sustainability.

This programme is designed for international students. If you want to study agriculture at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year BSc Agriculture with International Foundation Year programme enables you to undertake an undergraduate agriculture degree.

You will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) before progressing onto our three-year BSc Agriculture degree. This means you can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of your studies.

The foundation year is designed to equip you with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is geared towards the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.
