Work Placement

You will undertake placement in your third year. Placement may be undertaken in a large integrated farm business or with a farm business consultancy company. Agriculture students from a family farm wishing to undertake a farm placement are required to work at least 50 miles from their home farm and are not usually normally permitted to return to previous employers. Examples of placements have included work as a trainee accountant with Old Mill, a chartered accountancy practice specializing in agricultural businesses, a placement with the farm business consultancy division of Savills and placements with Wilson Wraight. Harper Adams’ excellent graduate employment record shows how employers value the skills, contacts, knowledge and confidence students develop during placement.

Careers

The course provides consultants and farm business managers of the future with the farm business management skills and an appreciation of agricultural systems and the wider rural environment required for a career in farm business management. Careers include farm consultancy (e.g. Promar, Kite, Brown & Co, Bidwells and Savills) and farm management positions within large integrated farm businesses.
