Land-based colleges
Land-based colleges specialise in excellent education and training in agriculture, land and animal sciences: the skills needed for rural economies. There are currently 12 land-based colleges in England.
Land-based colleges are a hive of technical and vocational skills, and students have access to a wide range of courses including agriculture, crops and livestock, animal care, farriery, game and wildlife management, floristry, land-based engineering and viticulture. Courses range from entry level 1 to degree-level 6.
They prepare students for a future in rural economies, and many go straight into industry from the college. Students get real life, hands-on experience in their chosen course, with many land-based colleges operating on working farms, as well as benefiting from educators who are experts in their fields, with many still working in their respective industries.
