Overview

The Agricultural Science and Technology programme from the University of Lincoln brings together the opportunity to study scientific, technological, and social innovations and how they can be developed, applied and reimagined to address global agricultural challenges at local or international scales.

Graduates from this programme are well placed to embark on diverse career paths in either academia, research organisations, the agri-food industry, technology providers and start-ups, non-governmental organisations in food systems, land use and conservation, government departments, and the private sector in plant breeding and food production industries, to name a few. 

This programme offers the opportunity for a personal learning journey to develop the knowledge, skills and critical mindset needed for taking a leading role in a thriving agriculture and food sector now, and in the future.

What Does This Programme Offer?

This programme offers an opportunity to gain a PhD in a multi-disciplinary setting, combining the strength of agricultural science with technology in particular social contexts. Whether a student wants to study solely agricultural topics in crops, soils, water, or ecology or have these areas combined with technology namely remote sensing, computer vision, or precision agriculture.
