Throughout the course, you’ll have access to farm resources, including a dairy herd, a commercial sheep flock, and approximately 180 hectares of farmland. You’ll learn how to make informed decisions for profitable and sustainable outcomes.
The course is offered by one of the university’s partner colleges: Hadlow College in Kent.
