Located in the heart of the Cotswolds, our historic campus provides a unique setting for students to immerse themselves in rural life while preparing for successful careers in the agricultural sector.

We offer a range of specialised undergraduate courses, such as Agriculture, Rural Land Management, and Equine Science. Our teaching style is highly practical, with small class sizes ensuring personalised attention.
