Bachelor of Agriculture

Course Overview Agriculture’s focus on science and sustainability is how we will adapt to our changing climate, declining environmental health and increasing demand for safe food production to feed our growing populations. A Bachelor of Agriculture is your opportunity to use science, technology and business to tackle critical sustainability issues and build a career with lasting impact. Key Program Highlights You’ll learn the science necessary to produce safe, high-quality and ethical food and fibre as well as the economics underpinning Australia’s important role in international trade. Australia is a major global supplier of agricultural goods, with $70.1 billion worth of exports forecast in 2024-25 (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry). An agriculture degree lets you apply biology, chemistry, physics, and economics and see the real-world results of your actions. Whether you start your post-university career in a laboratory, on farms or in a bank, you’ll be making a real impact on the world. Agriculture is at the beginning of a technological revolution, with research by Melbourne academics playing a leading role.
