2-Term Pathway - Science and Engineering Foundation Certificate - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Agricultural and Crop Science

Program Description

If a student has finished high school but does not meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them to gain entry to an undergraduate degree. Admission to the University of Nottingham can be gained through a pathway course at the University of Nottingham International College. Students will be part of a large international student population at the University of Nottingham. It is a member of the elite Russell Group, and is consistently ranked among the world’s best schools.

Environmental challenges mean that crop science is now a vital subject for our future. There is a growing demand for major food crops and the production of biofuels.

Students will develop your understanding of crop science, management skills and commercial awareness. Students can get a closer look at current practice around the UK on the Agronomy Field Course. They will see how growers use crop physiology understanding to inform their management practices.

• Study plant physiology, applying this to farms and the development of future crops
• Grow, manage and market your own crop in our enterprise module
• Visit commercial and research organisations
• Gain industry knowledge through our research collaborations. We work with agricultural consultancy, ADAS, and Hutchinsons, a leading agronomy company in the UK
