An agribusiness degree combines agricultural science and business, focusing on management and marketing in the agricultural sector, as well as understanding the needs of those working in the sector. You will gain an insight into both the production and marketing side of the supply chain, developing your knowledge of the relationship between the suppliers, producers and consumers.
Depending on where you choose to study, you may be able to specialise throughout your degree. These specialisations can influence the area in which you choose to work after you have graduated. They may also help you to decide what subject you wish to complete your dissertation or final project on. Common specialisations include:
The accreditation of your degree will depend on where you choose to study. It will also be influenced by your level of study. At undergraduate level, you can expect to be awarded a Bachelor of Science (BSc), a Bachelor of Business (BBus), or a Bachelor of Arts (BA). At postgraduate level, you can expect to be awarded a Master of Science (MSc), a Master of Business (MBus), or a Master of Arts (MA). If you choose to study for a postgraduate research degree, you can expect to be awarded a Master of Research (MRes), a Master of Philosophy (MPhil), or a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
Generally, an undergraduate degree will take three to four years to complete. Foundation degrees, diplomas and certificates can last up to two years when studied full-time. A postgraduate degree will normally take one to two years. If your course includes a placement, this will normally add another year onto your studies.
Some institutions might offer part-time study options. Studying for a degree part-time normally means that your course will last anywhere between three and eight years, with some universities offering more flexible study options.
