There are significantly fewer opportunities for studying agricultural science at honours degree level in Northern Ireland than in Britain, but one option students may be interested in is the three-year BSc (Hons) in Agricultural Technology and four-year BSc (Hons) in Agricultural Technology with Professional Studies, provided jointly by the School of Biological Sciences in Queen’s University Belfast and at the Greenmount, Co Antrim, campus of the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE).
Stages one and two are delivered at Greenmount Campus where students are involved in the work and management of specific agricultural enterprises, while the final stage is delivered at Queen’s.
The main difference between the two courses is that students on the three-year course undertake 16 weeks of work placement, while students on the four-year programme complete a 46-week work placement at the end of stage two. Entry requirements are the same for both courses.

Queen’s say that although the UCAS deadline has passed, students can still apply, though Queen’s can’t guarantee they’ll consider it.
Fees are £3,685 (€4,469) per year. For more information, visit www.qub.ie/home/StudyatQueens/CourseFinder/UCF2014-15/AgriculturalTechnology/D473.
