Agricultural and Environmental Science
The management of the agricultural/environmental interface is increasingly recognised as critical for sustainable agriculture, and for nature conservation.
With ever changing laws and legislation and increased speed in environmental degradation, the need for environmental protection has never been so important.
This has led to an increased demand in the sector for skilled and qualified scientists.
Agricultural and Environmental Science MSc
Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security

The prominence of this subject is driven by:
- an increasing global population
- pressure on non-renewable resources
- a need to increase food production while minimising the impact on the environment
