Agriculture College Courses

Exceptional facilities

You’ll study and work on our commercial mixed-use farm and full-time students have the option to live here too, with dedicated accommodation for 16+ and 18+ college level students.

You’ll have access to our multi-million pound Centre for Precision Agriculture, which is part of the Yorkshire and Humber Institute of Technology, giving you access to the latest agricultural precision technologies and farming solutions. 

We are also currently developing a new Centre for Pig Industry Training in partnership with White Rose Farms Ltd.

Industry expertise and partnerships

Your tutors at Bishop Burton have current industry expertise from careers in farming and we have strong links in the agricultural sector.

All of our farming courses are developed in consultation with the agricultural industry to ensure you’ll have the knowledge and skills employers look for.

Heading out on study trips will help you to meet industry professionals and gain valuable insights. From seeing the latest technology at machinery shows to learning about sustainable agroforestry in Costa Rica, you'll have a field day learning about agriculture in the wider world.

You’ll enjoy a blend of class-based teaching, personal study and hands-on experience on the Bishop Burton farm and on external placements. Our new T Levels, which are equivalent to three A Levels, are an excellent way to build industry knowledge, with 20% of your time spent with employers on a meaningful industry placement.
