My RAU experience

I always had a fascination with studying in-depth agribusiness management and the research on business management is very strong in RAU which attracted me the most.  Moreover, RAU has great collaboration with different agro-based industries and has a network with business people in the UK.

My RAU experience

I have a background in manufacturing engineering and was in the final year of my BEng in Industrial Control Engineering, where I designed and built a cloud-based automated hydroponics system for my project. I began to discover that I wanted to work more in the agricultural space and with "living things." This prompted me to look for a course that could serve as a link between engineering and agriculture.
