The Royal Agricultural University was established in 1845 as the first agricultural institution in the English speaking world. It continues to be at the forefront of teaching and research in the land-based sector, and remains a popular choice amongst students wanting to study undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in agriculture, food, business, equine, land management and real estate.

EmployabilityThe Royal Agricultural University offers students fantastic career and employment opportunities, with reassuringly high graduate employment rates.

96.3% of our graduates enter employment or further education within six months. This consistently high level of employability can be attributed, in part, to the strong industry links maintained by the RAU.

The RAU farms, Coates Manor Farm and Harnhill Manor Farm, offer very different farming systems. The mix of enterprises across our farms consist of cattle, sheep, outdoor organic pigs, horses and arable, and students have access to dairy farms. The farms are also a focus for research; field and plot trials are undertaken by the RAU and other organisations on an on-going basis.

Harnhill Manor FarmHarnhill Manor Farm is an example of an integrated livestock and cropping system. It has a 120-sow outdoor organic pig herd, and mule and highlander ewe breeding flocks are kept under a conventional farming system, together with a beef production enterprise.

Coates Manor FarmCoates Manor Farm is predominantly arable cropped, with some pasture land supporting the equine activity. We currently grow feed and milling wheat, oilseed rape and spring malting barley.

Fossehill FarmFossehill Farm provides polo and hunter livery stabling and associated exercise facilities. Converted by the RAU in 2006, it features an all-weather exercise track and outdoor arena.

Kemble Farms LtdKemble Farms Ltd, a large dairy complex, allow our students access to observe their commercial management of a high-yielding, 900-cow, all-year-round calving dairy unit.

Our farms

Additionally, the University uses numerous farms, estates and businesses, both locally and further afield, for visits and practical exercises.
