Scotlands Rural College

Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) is a higher education institution that combines education, consulting and research in Scotland. It focuses on agriculture. It was founded in October 2012 through a merger of Barony College, Elmwood College, Oatridge College and the Scottish Agricultural College (SAC).

The institution will work towards gaining the status of a university college with degree awarding powers. Until such time, the initialism SRUC is given as the organisation's name to avoid a reference to university college status.

The college has six campuses across Scotland while the Consulting arm has 26 offices located both in Scotland and in the north of England, as well as eight veterinary surveillance centres. SRUC’s Research Division operates in six research centres, and SRUC also runs eight farms for both research and educational purposes.
