Overview

Agricultural Sciences with Professional Studies is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Agriculture combines field work with laboratory analysis, and several departments have their own farms or field stations.

Tuition ranges from £22,400 to £26,600 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
