Overview

Agriculture FD (Welsh) is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Agriculture covers policy and regulation alongside the science, because most graduate roles sit where the two meet.
