BA Rural Business Management

Campus: 抖阴直播 - Edinburgh
Class of 2019

鈥淲hen I left school, I was determined that I鈥檇 get into farming and help carry on the family business.

I felt that Rural Business Management might be more relevant to where our farm was starting to go. I really enjoyed the course. It鈥檚 a good balance between farming and business and how to run both sides efficiently.鈥�
