I chose to study the PhD at the RAU because of just the sheer number of connections they have. I’ve met some amazing people so far and I just don’t think that I would have been able to get quite the same level of connections if I had chosen to take the PhD elsewhere.
When I wanted to put in for my PhD I started looking for universities in the UK. The first school that popped up was the Royal Agricultural University. The culture, the diversity of the University and their values actually enticed me.

Research into farmers’ attitudes towards cultured meat, published in the journal Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, reports the views of UK farmers about this potentially disruptive technology.
