Four respected partners – Barony, Elmwood and Oatridge Colleges and SAC – merged in 2012 to become Scotland’s Rural College – SRUC. We exist to deliver comprehensive skills, education and business support for Scotland’s land-based industries, founded on world class and sector-leading research, education and consultancy. The integration of these three complementary ‘knowledge exchange’ services is of significant value to all with an interest in land-based activities – be they learners, businesses, communities or policy-makers.
The future for the land-based industries will be extremely challenging with competing demands and new opportunities to be addressed. The next generation of business leaders and policy makers will need to be highly skilled and knowledgeable to navigate their way through a complex operating environment.
A further and higher education institution for courses that relate to the existing and emerging land-based industries and pursuits and the activities which support them. Subjects included Agriculture, Horticulture and Garden Design, Leisure, Tourism and Recreation, Conservation and Countryside, Environmental Studies, Business and Animal and Plant Sciences, Land Based Engineering, Forestry and Arboriculture, Animal Care and Veterinary Nursing. The College offers academic and vocational education and training and prides itself on its friendly, flexible, quality provision.
