Why choose CAFRE?

Great Job Prospects

Students of all ages study at CAFRE because they’re interested in getting a good job at the end of their course. Our results speak for themselves – in 2012 over 91% of our students were in employment, on a gap year or had progressed onto further education.

Practice Makes Perfect

If you’re a hands-on type of person who doesn’t want to be stuck behind a desk ALL day, then CAFRE courses, and the careers they lead to, are perfect for you. Relevant practical experience in modern specialist facilities is a part of all courses.

Industry Links

CAFRE has excellent links with businesses and organisations, many of which employ our graduates. They show their support by providing work placements, guest lecturers and real-life course projects. They also donate 29 bursaries to help fund the cost of getting a degree.

Specialist Facilities

You’ll go far to find better facilities at which to study for Foundation and Honours Degrees in agriculture, horticulture, food or
equine studies. With continuous investment, we keep our facilities up-to-date to benefit not just our full-time students but also people from industry who continue their professional development through our short courses.

Financial Support

With lower fees and accommodation costs, you’ll find that studying for a degree with CAFRE is not as expensive as you thought. And don’t forget about those industry bursaries to lighten the load!

Small and Special

You are treated as an individual at CAFRE as staff know all of the 1,500 students at our three campuses. Staff are friendly and approachable and ensure that you are supported both personally and academically to achieve your potential.

Opportunities to progress onto higher courses

Didn’t get the grades to get onto the Honours Degree of your choice? Why not enrol on a Foundation Degree and then, having completed that successfully, progress to the Honours Degree.

Still not finished?

Then you can apply for the post-graduate Diploma or Masters in Communication at Loughry Campus.
