Agricultural Business Management

About this course

Agricultural business management prepares you to run and lead enterprises in one of the most complex and vital sectors of the economy. Modern farming is not simply about producing food: it involves managing capital, labour, and land in volatile markets, navigating subsidy regimes and environmental regulations, and making strategic decisions that affect livelihoods and landscapes. A degree in this subject equips you with both the technical understanding of agricultural systems and the commercial and management skills to run them effectively. The University of Reading's three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year and a sandwich year, meaning the programme develops your academic foundations before giving you sustained professional experience in the farming or agri-food sector. Reading is one of the UK's strongest universities for agricultural science and has deep connections
