Who this course is for

Graduates may progress into farm management, livestock or crop production, agronomy, or agricultural engineering, as well as roles in horticulture, agri-business, and sales. There are also opportunities in environmental management, conservation, and veterinary support, alongside positions in the food supply chain and education or advisory services.
