Overview
If you are weighing up Sustainable Agriculture BSc, the useful thing to know early is how much the entry terms vary between departments teaching it. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Sustainable Agriculture is taught by departments with their own farms, estates or field stations. We currently work with 8 universities on this course across 8 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17.000 to £23.500 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.
