Agriculture with Farm Business Management (top-up) BSc (Hons)

Having completed a Foundation Degree or HND programme in Agriculture you may wish to top-up to either a BSc or BSc (Hons) degree, by studying full-time for a further academic year to specialise in the area of farm business management.

To qualify for an honours degree a student must demonstrate the capacity for sustained, independent and high quality work. One of the most important vehicles for the demonstration of this capacity, and for developing the necessary skills, is the individual Honours Research Project. Each student will therefore be required to complete such a project under the general supervision of a member of staff and present the results in a project report and in a viva voce exam, with two tutors, which will also test to a high level, skills of communication and rational argument. This major exercise represents one-quarter of the final year studies and will therefore have an important influence on the classification of award.
