Edinburgh University is set to drop its undergraduate courses in agriculture after the autumn intake. The move will leave Aberdeen University as the only Scottish east coast institution offering agriculture degrees.

All current agriculture students - and this year's entrants - will be able to complete their degrees at Edinburgh. Postgraduate and staff research in agriculture will continue.
