Land Based Engineering
At Suffolk rural, we aim to provide students with the most hands-on experiences and practical training, ensuring they are confident in their skills, knowledge, and themselves upon the completion of their course.
Our campus offers its own farm site (spanning 95 acres), multiple engineering workshops, and our vast fleet of farming machinery that students will learn to maintain and operate.
Industry Ready
Students will be taught by our talented and experienced tutors, who will offer their guidance and expertise as the course progresses and new learning opportunities arise.
To ensure our learners are industry-ready, we involve employers and manufacturers who collaborate with the college to demonstrate new and innovative machinery and technology.
Additionally, visiting guest lecturers will share their own knowledge and experiences, enhancing the learning experience.
The course will also include multiple site visits to local industries and industrial events, providing students with firsthand exposure to the latest industry practices and advancements.
