Agriculture is taught at the University’s Institute of Rural Sciences. The Institute is one of the largest departments at Aber with over 600 students.

Aber is one of the best-known names in the world of agriculture. ‘Land-based studies’ have been taught there for over 120 years during which time Aber has built up a reputation as one of the leading universities for degree and diploma courses in agriculture.

The University farms, which extend over 560 hectares, provide an excellent range of resources for learning. They are farmed commercially as well as being used for teaching and research.
