Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship

We are committed to resolving the future challenges facing global food production and distribution, whilst facing the environmental and cultural pressures of increased demand. 

These challenges cannot be solved by one country; they require common purpose from experts around the world. This Scholarship will help enable students seeking entry in January 2025 to develop their skills at RAU and become part of the future network of global champions.
