Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences Studentships
The School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences are committed to the education, research and innovation needed to build a sustainable future. Now more than ever, our planet is facing some tough challenges. With a growing population putting inevitable pressure on the Earth’s resources, plotting the path to a sustainable future has never been more vital. We’re committed to developing our research community, who can make a meaningful difference.
By joining the School as a researcher, you’ll become a part of the research community focused on land-based disciplines at NTU’s dedicated Brackenhurst Campus. This campus has a proud professional heritage, having delivered courses in these subject areas for over 70 years.
Our high-impact research is focused around four core themes: the natural environment; ecology and conservation; sustainable agriculture and food security; and animal health.
We aspire for excellence through international and interdisciplinary collaboration and foster a research environment that rewards innovation. Our research is recognised both nationally and internationally, often informing professional practice across the sector.
We pride ourselves on the diligence and enthusiasm of our teaching and support teams. Our staff have a genuine passion for their subjects and are active researchers or practitioners, committed to helping researchers realise their ambitions.
