Bachelor of Science (Agricultural Science), Bachelor of Innovation (double degree)

Combining science and innovation in a double degree has a great potential to lead to exciting and diverse career opportunities. Many of the world's most pressing issues, such as climate change, healthcare, food security, and sustainable energy require multidisciplinary solutions, combining technical knowhow with an innovation mindset.

You might identify novel opportunities, develop disruptive technologies, or create new products or services that transform businesses and societies. You might start your own ventures based on scientific discoveries or bring fresh perspectives to existing industries through innovative approaches.

The Agricultural Science major is designed to provide graduates with an industry-ready understanding of the science and technology required for the productive use of plants and animals for food, fibre and amenity purposes. The course builds from basic biology and agricultural systems including overarching issues such as food security, sustainability, and climate change to specifics of crop and animal production and rural development.

Are you inspired by innovation? If you want the skills to be an innovator or to help solve the big challenges, from local to global, the Bachelor of Innovation is for you. You will gain the expertise and the creative mindset to solve complex industry and societal challenges, to make a difference.

The course has been designed by researchers at Curtin Business School to support the development of next-generation innovators. The course integrates our ‘GRIT’ concepts – global, responsible, innovative, technology – and the skills that the World Economic Forum has identified as ‘non-negotiable’ for the 21st century. During your studies you will learn innovation strategies and how to innovate ethically, engage globally, and use technology decisively to deliver solutions with positive social and industry impacts.
