4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
Harper Adams UniversityLet us guide you to meet the increasing demand for highly-skilled farm business management practitioners with an understanding of the options available to meet the challenges brought about by new technologies, new policies and societal pressures.The agricultural industry is changing rapidly and in recent years advances in technology have led to an abundance of food production in the western world. This, together with changes in support mechanisms under the Agriculture Act, will affect farm incomes, the countryside, rural communities and the public purse. Increasingly farmers will need to maximise business efficiency and look to diversify their businesses and find alternative uses for rural land.After a common first year, in your second year you will start to specialise in the area of farm business management, studying areas such as farm business management and economics, farm business operation and planning and market and supply chain considerations, whilst continuing to study more general aspects of agriculture, such as animal and crop production science, grass and forage production and waste management.Following placement, in your final year specialisation in farm business management continues, studying farm business strategy, business diversification and people management. You will also undertake an Honours Research Project in a subject area that aligns to your interests and ambitions.
