The RAU appealed to me because I've had friends previously come and they've told me how amazing it's been, so I looked into it and I've looked  into other unis as well but the RAU seemed to suit me the best.

The experience of the clearing process for me was quite quick because I decided in summer to come to uni. The admissions team you spoke to and they were great, not scary, like it's easy and straightforward.

I love the student life, I like how it's small and it was so easy to come in and make  friends. The social aspect is really good.

The opportunities the RAU has given me are beyond my wildest dreams.

It's given me the confidence to pursue a career in agriculture.

We have a three-year honours degree which includes the short placement and we have a four-year degree that includes a one-year placement.

There's such a family vibe, especially with the lecturers, they know who you are and they can tailor the lecturing to you.

You're a name not a number which I'm really enjoying, I really like the conversation you can have with your lecturers.
