Course overview

The Bachelor of Agriculture will provide students with a sound understanding of the structure and operation of agricultural production industries of Australia, as well as an understanding of Australia's role in global food and fibre production. The multidisciplinary approach integrates scientific, environmental, economic, and social considerations involved in managing resource systems for sustainable food and fibre production. With a Bachelor of Agriculture, you can help achieve and sustain the food production required to feed the world in a more variable climate. Our industry and government associations ensure you develop the skills employers value.  Students will be involved in study at both Parkville and Dookie campuses with access to specialist resources. In semester 2 of the second year, students have the option of a full-time program of study at the Dookie campus. Students will also have an opportunity to undertake extramural vacation industry placements.
