Why study with us?

Australia and the world need passionate people like you, equipped with a solid scientific foundation to develop new ideas and technologies, implement new agricultural practices and devise innovative ways to produce more from the world's finite resources.

Tailor your study

Study the particular area of agriculture that interests you in your agricultural science course and graduate with an industry-ready CV. Begin your studies in a generalist agricultural science stream and follow your interests by specialising in one of the majors in agronomy, digital agriculture, horticulture, livestock production or mixed farm business. Your choice of major will be informed by your workplace learning experiences throughout your degree, culminating in a major industry internship in your final year.

Flexible study

Study full-time for four years at Wagga Wagga, eight years part-time online, or a mixture of both online and on campus. Selected subjects are also available over the summer which may allow you to reduce the length of your study by an additional six months.

Our agriculture course has been designed in close consultation with key industry players who we work with in education development, workplace learning and applied research via our research centres.
