After a life in the military, the Duke of Cambridge goes back to college to ready himself to farm the land.

CAMBRIDGE University will welcome Prince William as a full-time student in the new year as he enrolls on an agricultural management course that will teach him to be a better farmer.

He will begin the 10-week specially-tailored course that focuses on issues affecting the United Kingdom’s rural communities and farming industry.

In the tradition of the royal landowners, William will one day inherit the Duchy of Cornwall from his father, Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales. The family inheritance comprise land, property and investments, making the British royalty one of the richest royals in the world.

As a full-time student, he will be fully-immersed in the executive education programme comprising up to 20 hours of seminars, lectures and meetings a week. These are designed to give him an understanding of contemporary issues affecting agricultural business and rural communities in the UK.

It is understood that the tuition fees will be paid fully by the royal student.

This is Prince William’s second stint as a student at university, having graduated from the University of St Andrews in 2005 with an honours degree in geography.

His undergraduate days in Scotland will forever go down in royal history for the blossoming of a love story where he met his future wife in Kate Middleton.

Upon graduation, William spent seven years in the military including a stint working as a Royal Air Force search and rescue pilot.
