Royal Agricultural University

Royal Agricultural University (RAU; alun perin Royal Agricultural College eli RAC) on Isossa-Britanniassa toimiva maataloustieteellinen korkeakoulu.[1] Se toimii Cirencesterissä, Gloucestershiressä.[2]

Idea maatalouskorkeakoulun perustamisesta oli esillä Fairfordin ja Cirencesterin maanviljelijäkerhojen tapaamisessa vuonna 1842. Tyylillisesti uusgotiikkaa edustavan rakennuksen rakentaminen aloitettiin huhtikuussa 1845 Bathurstin jaarlin vuokrattua tätä varten alueen.[1] Suunnittelijana oli arkkitehti Samuel Whitfield Daukes.[3] Kuningatar Viktoria myönsi oppilaitokselle kuninkaallisen peruskirjan samana vuonna. Royal Agricultural University on englanninkielisen maailman ensimmäisenä perustettu maatalouden korkeakoulu.[1]

Royal Agricultural Universityn ensimmäiset 25 opiskelijaa hyväksyttiin syyskuussa 1845. Seuraavana vuonna opiskelijaluku nousi 108:aan. Vuonna 1982 yliopiston puheenjohtajaksi tuli Walesin prinssi Charles. Privy Council myönsi Royal Agricultural Universitylle täyden yliopistostatuksen vuonna 2013.[1]

Royal Agricultural Universityn motto on lainaus Vergiliuksen Georgicasta: Arvorum Cultus Pecorumque.[1]
