Postgraduate Agriculture Courses

Agricultural or horticultural scientists research and develop new methods of raising animals and growing crops, and try them out on experimental farms and nurseries. They usually specialize in one area such as soil, crops, animals or farm produce.

You could work for a commercial company, a college, a university, a government agency or research centre such as the Scottish Agricultural Science Agency (SASA).

While many good jobs in agriculture are available to applicants with good Honours degrees in agriculture or horticulture, or other relevant science subject for many agricultural jobs a postgraduate qualification is preferred.
