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. Students will be taught by our group of talented and experienced tutors, who will offer their guidance and experience as the course progresses and new learning opportunities arise. There will also be visiting guest lecturers that will be able to offer their own knowledge and experiences, as well as multiple site visits to local industries and industrial events.
