RAU Connections

Royal Agricultural University alumni community is a global community of over 17,000 alumni who have studied here. When you graduate we are here to help.

You can still access support including appointments to speak to our Careers Advisor either online or on campus. You can have your CV checked and have access to the alumni Jobs Board and attend our Career Fairs in the Autumn term.

We offer discounts to our alumni for postgraduate courses and for venue hire.

If you are interested in starting a business you can speak to our Enterprise staff about your business idea and receive twelve months free membership of Farm491. This is the Royal Agricultural University's technology and innovation space focused on the future of farming and food systems, which supports AgriTech, AgriFood and farming entrepreneurs in the UK and internationally in converting their ideas or technological solutions into viable and successful businesses. Alumni also receive 25% discount on membership and all other paid services at The Growth Hub Cirencester, based alongside Farm491 at the Alliston Centre in the grounds of the University.  Alumni of the University also have access to monthly e-newsletter, invitations to events around the country and on campus and receive a copy of our Landmark magazine.

Many of our alumni help our current students by providing mentoring support, placements and job opportunities as well as providing case studies and hosting trips or visits which are relevant to RAU courses.

Alumni also give donations to the Cirencester Fund to help enhance the student experience and other priority areas.
