Bachelor of Agribusiness

This course enables students to undertake a combined program of agricultural science. The first year of the program provides a solid foundation in science and communications, and an introduction to agribusiness management and agricultural systems management. The course builds from basic biology and agricultural systems to detailed specifics of crop and animal production and rural development, within the context of overarching issues such as food security, sustainability and climate change. This understanding of agricultural production systems is combined with the business skills associated with production, processing, marketing and distribution of food and fibre products. Graduates from this course will have an industry-ready understanding of the science and technology required for productive use of plants and animals for food and fibre. They will also benefit from gaining a qualification that offers a comprehensive understanding of agriculture and its operation, in combination with a solid underpinning of the business environment.
