Overview

An Online Journey into the World of Farming. Agricultural Science is not just about working the land or tending to animals. It’s a comprehensive field that encompasses a wide range of subjects, all pivotal to understanding the very essence of food production, sustainability, and innovation in the sector. The Agricultural Science Diploma, presented in an online format, offers learners a holistic approach to the world of agriculture, providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to embrace modern farming’s challenges and prospects.

The course kicks off with the Fundamentals of Agriculture. This module sets the foundation, helping participants understand the basic principles that have underpinned farming practices for centuries. From there, learners will explore the secrets hidden beneath their feet with Soil Science. Here, they’ll uncover the crucial role soil plays in crop growth and how its properties can significantly impact yield.

Plant Science follows closely, delving into the intricate world of plants – their biology, growth, and the role they play in agriculture. With the world’s burgeoning population, it’s not just crops that are of paramount importance. Animal Science provides valuable insights into animal husbandry, ensuring that those venturing into livestock farming do so with adequate knowledge.

Biotechnology is redefining the boundaries of what’s possible in agriculture. The Agricultural Biotechnology module provides learners with a glimpse into the advanced techniques being utilised to enhance crop yields, resist pests, and even combat climate change.

Yet, with great power comes great responsibility. Sustainable Farming ensures that students recognise the importance of farming practices that not just yield results today but ensure the fertility and productivity of the land for generations to come. Coupled with this, Agricultural Economics introduces participants to the financial aspects of farming. From understanding market dynamics to grasping the nuances of agricultural trade, this section ensures that learners are well-equipped to make informed decisions.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
