The Royal Agricultural University has always positioned itself at the forefront of ‘applied research’ in agriculture, from its foundation in 1845, when the industrial revolution was realigning food supply systems, through to today when societal concern is focused on how to feed humanity and conserve the land in a period of challenge and change.
Our research strategy is framed around three goals:
Public information

New students guide
We look forward to welcoming you to the Royal Agricultural University where a new and exciting chapter of your life is about to begin.
We understand that you may have many questions about arriving here and these pages should hopefully go some way to providing answers. Please spend time in particular reading the Registration Information – completing your online self-registration before you arrive is vital to ensure there are no delays to receiving your student ID, moving into accommodation and starting your studies.
Postgraduate study
Our postgraduate courses are taught in a dynamic and stimulating learning environment with inspiring and highly supportive teaching.
Postgraduate open days and virtual events
This is the ideal time to study a postgraduate course at the RAU. The current global challenges of food security, climate change and Brexit provide unprecedented opportunities for the industry and those who work within it.
Our next series of virtual course introduction events are taking place in the Spring (2024), and dates will be published soon. These will focus on each postgraduate course; with a presentation giving a thorough overview of the course content, benefits and career prospects hosted by the programme manager.
Postgraduate fees and funding
The University has a wide range of funding opportunities to help you finance your studies.
