Established in 1845, the RAU has a wealth of experience. Our academics work closely with business leaders and employers to provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to start their careers.

The current global challenges of food security, climate change and Brexit provide unprecedented opportunities for the land-based sector and, importantly, for our students.

RAU graduates whether studying as an undergraduate or postgraduate student leave prepared for successful careers in their chosen field, whether that be leading innovation and change in industry, informing future land-based policy, or setting up their own businesses; which many of our entrepreneurial students do with great success.

We help students develop an entrepreneurial mindset, whatever their course. In 2019 we became just the 6th University - and the first small, specialist - to be made a Centre of Excellence by the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs (IOEE). With the help of the Enterprise Programme many students have launched new businesses.

Students joining the 17,000-strong global alumni network follow in the distinguished footsteps of entrepreneurs, politicians, writers and Olympic athletes. This powerful network of alumni spans the globe and offers fantastic opportunities for professional development and socialising.

Our students are a name not a number. The RAU is a close-knit community that students call a home from home. The student experience is at the heart of what we do and we love to welcome our students into the “Ciren” community.
