Courses

SRUC offers courses which link to the ways in which we make use of the land and natural resources around us – from agriculture and food production, the science that supports those industries, the way we interact with and support the environment around us, the business and industry which relies on these resources, to how to use outdoor space and the countryside in recreation and leisure time.

Full-time, part-time and distance learning options are available. Undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses are offered, along with a a full range of programmes at all levels from access courses and vocational studies through to PhDs.

“With the support I’ve received at SRUC I can say that learning has changed my life in ways I could not have imagined. It was boosted my belief in my own academic ability.”
