These three students are currently studying on Loughry’s Honours Degree food courses and this experience will give them the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and experience at one of the top research universities in the world.

This is an excellent opportunity for the students to study a range of exciting subjects, and to develop the personal and professional skills that are the key to success in the agri-food industry. No doubt they will also take advantage of the opportunity to experience American life and culture whilst they are away!
