My RAU experience

I chose to study Bachelors in Agriculture with a professional placement year at the Royal Agricultural University because of its prestigious reputation and its comprehensive approach to agricultural education. The professional placement year was a key factor in my decision. The RAU has strong industry connections and partnerships with leading agricultural organizations, which means that the placement opportunities are not only abundant but also highly relevant to current industry needs.

My RAU experience

I was looking for a course that would take me straight into being a rural surveyor; this meant that Rural Land Management at the RAU was a natural fit. I can honestly say that the highlight of my university was the Agricultural Law module that we did in final year. I enjoyed the community at the RAU and the small campus feel that means that you are known by name to the lecturers, not just a number.
