Overview
Are you interested in making a difference and contributing to the sustainability of food and fibre production? The Undergraduate Certificate in Agribusiness is your opportunity to explore Australia's agriculture industry, and learn the first steps in running a successful agricultural-based business.
This course is your opportunity to combine your passions in both business and agriculture. You’ll learn the essential business skills that will help you strive in the agribusiness industry, including people management, finance and marketing.
You’ll gain insight and commercial awareness of agribusiness industries, explore the importance of agribusiness management planning, and learn how agribusiness managers integrate the outputs of planning into their business management and operations.
This course has been developed in consultation with industry experts, including Mike Badcock (Enchanted Isle Farms) and Terry Brient (Tasmanian Agriculture Productivity Group), who continually support the course. This means that you will have the opportunity to learn practical skills via real-world case studies and simulated work environments which you can apply straight into the workplace.

Potential Career Outcomes
With interest growing in where food and other primary products are grown and produced, customers are keen to build relationships with their producers and learn about where their products come from. This provides new and innovative retail and marketing opportunities for the agribusiness industry to benefit from, with the farm-to-household trend like farmers markets, online shopping and home delivery.
Whether you’re just starting out in the industry or looking to upskill and progress in your current position, studying agribusiness will open you up to an exciting array of career pathways. You might find yourself working in a primary product business, such as horticulture, aquaculture, pharmaceuticals, or wineries, or in other non-production roles such as consultancy, business advisory, transport, retail or distribution.
For those already working in agriculture, this course can help you upskill and progress to more advanced managerial or leadership roles in your workplace.
By completing the Undergraduate Certificate in Agribusiness you will also have the opportunity to transition into further study, with full credit towards an Associate Degree in Agribusiness.
