Work experience

Obtaining hands-on work experience will increase your chances of getting a job after graduation. If you don’t have the opportunity to complete a placement year as part of your course, look for relevant work in the holidays. This may involve going to local commercial farms and asking if they have any extra work or seeing if you could shadow someone who works in farm management.
Search for local voluntary projects in your area involving agricultural or environmental work.
Volunteering abroad on agriculture projects in farms, forests and nature reserves is also an option.
