Course summary
Our BSc Agricultural Business Management with Foundation degree will enable you develop core academic skills and become a successful manager or consultant within the agricultural sector.
This four-year programme includes a foundation year that leads directly into the three-year BSc Agricultural Business Management course. It provides an excellent route to a degree in agricultural business management if you do not have the typical entry requirements.

business management

sustainability and environment
Your learning will be delivered through a combination of lectures, tutorials, practical classes and workshops.
A foundation year is more than just a stepping-stone to a degree. You will also benefit from:
-
access to our full range of facilities and resources

full integration into university life, before your degree year begins

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
We issue offers to best fit the different circumstances and experiences of our applicants. We take a tailored and holistic approach, considering extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis. We recognise that some students are more likely than others to face barriers to fulfilling their academic potential at school, through no fault of their own. More information on our supportive offer making approaches can be found at: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/what-offer-will-i-get
