My name is Esineya Chilumbu and I studied a Master's in  Agricultural Technology and Innovation.

My name is Jasmine Gregory and I studied Rural Land Management. I'm really grateful to be here. I'm grateful to sort of have got this far and it's a really exciting day and I suppose a day as well of looking ahead to what's next.

So, I'm currently working as a Graduate Surveyor for Fisher German and the RAU has really helped my journey because I did a placement in my second year and during this placement I really got to know sort of what it was like working as a surveyor and actually this enabled me to um yeah secure a graduate role.

My RAU experience

After completing 3 years studying a level 2 and level 3 Diploma in Agriculture, I knew I wanted to progress into the agricultural sector in a professional capacity and develop my knowledge. This is why I chose the RAU, the connections, skills and support to explore areas of interest meant I felt confident in progressing into the professional sector. 

My RAU experience

Having been interested in agriculture and the rural landscape from a young age, the specialist nature of the RAU really appealed to me along with being surrounded by like minded people. Being a smaller university in a stunning rural setting made the choice to study at the RAU very easy. In addition I was impressed by the alumni destinations and further career prospects following the degree which was very important to me.
