The teachers are amazing at explaining the content and the facilities for practical activities are well maintained, but at least in the first year there were few contact hours compared to other BScs. The course could also use more international case studies; the university has a diverse international community, with students planning on going to countries where the agriculture industry varies greatly compared to the UK, and some more content about different countries could prove helpful. read more

Quite a good idea to do Agriculture here, they're up there in the QS ranks. They've got passionate staff, from what I've seen. They also do quite a lot of field-trips and even sometimes overnight trips, so it'll be quite fun especially with friends. Students without an agriculture background can do fine, but will feel a bit behind because, for my batch, a lot of the students have had a farming background already. read more
