Living Planet with Sustainable Agriculture and Technology MSc

Transform the future of farming and tackle the biggest challenges in food production and ecosystem health, with our MSc designed for aspiring agricultural scientists, technologists, and sustainability professionals.<br/><br/>Explore how ecological principles and cutting-edge technologies can be applied to create more resilient, productive, and sustainable farming systems. Dive into topics like biological control, integrated crop management, agritech innovation, and sustainable livestock production.<br/><br/>You’ll gain hands-on experience through fieldwork, lab sessions, and exclusive visits to agritech companies, research farms, and commercial operations. You’ll also build essential research skills in data science, GIS, genomics, and bioinformatics – tools that are increasingly vital in modern agriculture.<br/><br/>A major highlight of the programme is your five-month independent research project, where you’ll choose a topic that inspires you and develop your own research. You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with external partners or undertake a placement, and your work will culminate in a thesis and presentation.<br/><br/>Whether you’re looking to innovate in the agritech sector, influence agricultural policy, or contribute to global food security, this course gives you the knowledge, experience, and confidence to make a real impact.<br/><br/>MSc Living Planet streams<br/><br/>This stream is one of several in our MSc Living Planet course:<br/><br/>MSc Living Planet with Computational Methods in Ecology and Evolution<br/>MSc Living Planet with Ecology, Evolution and Conservation<br/>MSc Living Planet with Natured-based Solutions<br/>MSc Living Planet with Sustainable Agriculture and Technology (this stream)<br/>MSc Taxonomy, Biodiversity and Evolution
