Overview

Sustainable Land and Business Management is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. 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.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.

Careers opportunities

Practical experience decides hiring in this sector more than the classification does, and most courses are built round a placement year for that reason. The work has moved sharply toward data, soil and emissions reporting in the last decade.
