Why choose CAFRE?

CAFRE’s ethos is very much ‘learning by doing’.

Highly qualified and experienced staff use specialist teaching facilities to demonstrate the latest science, technology, innovation, and business management techniques to students.

The college works closely with industry to secure student bursaries, study visits and work placement opportunities.

These industry connections expose students to key personnel from the agri-food and land-based sectors early in their careers, resulting in students often securing employment before they graduate.
