Welcome to ARES - NTU's School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences
Our business is nature: specifically, the environment, animal health and welfare, ecology and conservation, and agriculture and food production. That covers everything from biodiversity and agri-tech to nutrition and climate change.
Our approach is innovative and inclusive. Moreover, we feel it makes us that little bit different. It’s our goal to have a positive impact on the planet by improving the wellbeing of environments, animals, plants, and people. If you see that passion in yourself — as a potential student, academic, or collaborator — we can be a new, powerful partner in your journey.
Different study levels, but with a shared purpose. We offer a wide range of study levels, from post-16 education to doctoral research. Each one of those levels is interconnected, enabling a stronger sense of community: students on our college-level courses get access to all the facilities of a great university, while our undergrads and postgraduates hone their research ambitions through collaborative projects with ARES’ own acclaimed academics. At each stage, we want our students to be excited by the promise of their next steps: we work with employers to reflect (and anticipate) the needs of the sector, and to guarantee our graduates are not only job-ready, but ready to contribute novel ideas in their dream roles.
