For 180 years, we have been educating leaders and entrepreneurs in the land-based sector.

We offer a wide range of courses for undergraduates and postgraduates from farm management, food, real estate, and rural land management, to business, environment, equine science, and cultural heritage. All our courses seek to ensure sustainable use of the land, safeguard the environment, protect the welfare of animals, and improve the wellbeing of communities that rely upon it,

Every year the RAU welcomes students from Australia who come to the UK to receive a world-class education. The International Team at the RAU is always keen to help and support International students seeking education opportunities in the UK.

At the RAU we offer a variety of undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes.

Information about Brexit, the transition period, the EU Settlement Scheme and what to expect from 2021.

The UK has formally left the EU on 31 January 2020

The UK is now in a transition period until 31 December 2020, while the EU and UK conduct negotiations on their future relationship. During this time, the UK will continue to observe EU rules, which means that there are no changes if you are an EEA or Swiss national, including students who have a dual nationality with a non-EEA/Swiss passport.

The College would not have existed without the kindness of local landowners and friends who raised the funds to establish it, and throughout its history gifts left in Wills have had a transformative impact.
