The BSc (Hons) Agricultural Management Top-up aims to provide students with a
learning environment which builds on the platform of the UCS Agricultural
Management Foundation Degree. Alternatively, students could have studied a
similar Foundation Degree elsewhere.
Whether you are focused on farm
management or an associated industry, this course aims to supply graduates with
the opportunity to develop systematic understanding and detailed knowledge of
the key concepts, contexts and technologies shaping the developments in the
agrifood sector.
Industry links form a critical part of our course with
regular visits, guest speakers and workshops from sector leaders.
The course
covers technical and managerial aspects of modern agriculture.
Areas of study
may include:
Our Farm now attracts national and international research projects and is one of the largest Agricultural centres for FE in the UK. We deliver a full range of agri-food topics which give you a thorough grounding at this higher level. If you are planning a future career as a farm secretary or administrator, membership of IAgSa will give you both the confidence and qualification you need.

I chose UCS because I didn’t want to move away from home to study, but still wanted to gain a higher education qualification. I like the fact that I can work on the family dairy farm while completing my degree, because contact time is focused on two days per week.
