At Hartpury, an agriculture degree is about so much more than farming. It's about working with people to create behaviour change, applying agri-tech data to increase yield and welfare, and translating scientific research and business theory into real solutions that address industry challenges.
You don’t need an agricultural background, you just need the passion and drive to make a difference to our planet, people, and animals.

Our students benefit from a curriculum that’s informed by industry, with business management embedded throughout. As part of our 10-year vision to create a Digital Innovation Farm and become a leader in smart farming technology, our students learn from, and contribute to, the latest scientific research in our Agri-Tech Centre and advanced dairy parlour.
You’ll also spend time in industry, working on a range of projects and applying theory to practice. Add that to the expertise you’ll develop on our award-winning 380-hectare commercial farm, which supplies big brands including Müller, and you’ll be well prepared to drive the agri-tech sector forwards into a productive and sustainable future.
