Agriculture Forestry Horticulture Veterinary Medicine
Postgraduate Programmes in Agriculture will study the production, processing and use of animals and crops, as well as the marketing of these products. Postgraduate Programmes in agriculture will vary depending on the specialisation chosen by the student, but should encompass research into agricultural systems and different agricultural practices. Students should learn about various topics including the science of plant and animal production, as well as rural policy and decision-making.
A Postgraduate Programme in Horticulture will investigate the science of plant cultivation. A Postgraduate Programme in Horticulture is more likely to study plants on a smaller scale than agriculture - referring to plants and bushes rather than crops - although this isn't always the case. Programmes can vary from studying the creation of history gardens (eg the Garden History master's at Birkbeck) to investigating modern day garden design.
A Postgraduate Programme in Veterinary Medicine will deal with the medical science involved in the welfare and care of animals - domestic, livestock and wildlife. Elements of research will focus on the health and welfare of animals, and how to deal with infectious disease in animals. veterinary Medicine will also look at applications of basic animal sciences in human and veterinary medicine. The livestock industry and food security will also feature in Postgraduate Programmes in Veterinary Medicine.
