Why did you choose to study this course at the RAU?

Because of Zimbabwean students studying at the RAU and my dad came here many years ago.

What is the best part about this course for you? 

The best part of my course is the agri-business lectures as it relates exactly to what I want to do after I graduate.

What are you enjoying the most about studying at the RAU?

I enjoy the practicality of the learning and how interactive the lecturers are with the students.

Why did you choose to study this course at the RAU?

You can study business anywhere, but in order to have a higher level of understanding about the agricultural world and how to synthesise the ideas then the RAU is the obvious choice. I also love the family atmosphere that you get from a small campus university – it’s like you know everyone!

Why did you choose to study this course at the RAU?

I am from a polo background, and live just over an hour away from Cirencester. Studying here has allowed me to continue to follow my passion for producing polo ponies. Business was my favourite subject at school and I have always had a love for sales. In the future I will look to work abroad, this course will not only teach me the skills needed, but also help me achieve this through RAU’s large network of international contacts in a range of industries. 

My RAU experience

I studied BSc (Hons) International Equine and Agricultural Business Management at the Royal Agricultural University and developed a keen interest in the management of ruralbased businesses; so much so that I decided to stay on to study for an MSc in Business Management.

Why did you choose the RAU?

Mt first experience of the RAU was back in 2007 when I came to the University to take part in a summer camp. Years later I’d already completed undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications at home based in agriculture. But I was keen to enrich my learning and gain a foreign experience as an international student. I remembered my visit to the RAU so started doing research into going there. I also visited again to attend some open days.

We place a strong emphasis on entrepreneurialism, creating opportunities for our students to develop their own business ideas and receive tailored support.

From practical workshops, mentoring and awards, budding entrepreneurs can benefit from the knowledge and experience of their lecturers and the strong industry links the University has carefully cultivated over the years.
