Agriculture and Animal Science courses are taught in the School of Biosciences at the University of Nottingham Sutton Bonington Campus. The campus is situated 12 miles south of Nottingham, in a rural setting. The campus is home to over 2,500 students from the Schools of Biosciences and Veterinary Medicine, which creates a place where it’s easy to get to know your fellow students and teaching teams, yet part of a wider global community. A free hopper bus connects Sutton Bonington and University Park Campuses, and the Nottingham tram network.
Undergraduate (BSc and MSci) courses ideally suited to young people interested in the dairy industry include Agriculture, Agricultural and Livestock Science, Integrated Agricultural Business Management, Animal Science, Environmental Biology, and Environmental Science. Details of each course are available through the links at https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/biosciences/study/ug/courses.aspx
