Agriculture is more than farming. It's a vital science that involves understanding the land, crops and animals, and using sustainable methods to feed and clothe our growing population.
In the Bachelor of Agricultural Science you'll learn the scientific, technological, managerial, economic and social principles of agriculture to improve food security, environmental sustainability, and enhance human health.
You'll benefit from the research discoveries and industry connections of our world-class academics. They'll teach you in-demand practical field and lab skills and how to be part of developing solutions to the complex challenges of food security, agricultural sustainability and climate change.
Experience some of the best animal and agricultural facilities in the southern hemisphere, including research greenhouses, a plant nursery, a commercial dairy, and more than 1,000 hectares of unique subtropical farmland.
Participate in industry visits and field trips where you'll see some of the latest industry-transforming technology, like drones, GPS and crop sensors, in action.
Take advantage of a 120-hour industry placement where you apply theory to practice or enhance your research skills with the Summer and Winter Research Programs.
You'll gain in-depth foundations in animal biology, plant science, ecology, chemistry and data analysis, before specialising in one of 3 majors:
agronomy (field crop production and soil management)
animal science (livestock production, care and management)
horticulture (garden and greenhouse crop cultivation).
You can add business skills with electives in agricultural economics, export marketing and people management.
Upon graduation, you'll be in demand with 6 jobs to every agricultural university graduate in Australia.
