Agriculture

There is a shortage of students with the right skills available to enter the job market. At both first degree and other undergraduate qualification levels the most popular types of jobs to move into are in quality, marketing, production, management and associated professional occupations with agriculture in the land-based sector. If you are considering ways of broadening your life experience and at the same time deepening and expanding your understanding of agriculture in settings outside the UK, you will find that specialists in agriculture and related subjects are very useful to organisations that employ agricultural students to work in Australia, Canada, America and New Zealand.
