Study Opportunities in Precision Agriculture
Our undergraduate, as well as postgraduate research students are exposed to the latest, tried-and-true methodologies and technologies available for crop, pasture, and - more recently - livestock management.
Undergraduate Study
UNE's Bachelor of Agriculture offers a Technology major, where students study units focusing on remote sensing, photogrammetry, global positioning systems, surveying, modern software development, machine guidance systems, soil sensors, economics and adoption of Precision Agriculture.
You can also studied the unit PA335 Precision Agriculture.
Postgraduate Study
UNE offers Australia's only Graduate Certificate and Master of Science postgraduate programs dedicated to Precision Agriculture in:
- Graduate Certificate in Agriculture (Precision Agriculture)
- Master of Science (Precision Agriculture)
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) provides the framework for the University's highest award, undertaken with supervised and independent research. We offer opportunities for graduate students from all academic backgrounds to undertake PhD projects in precision agriculture.
If you are a graduate of our Bachelor of Science who has completed a major in Animal Science and Veterinary Studies and/or Applied Physics and/or Computational Science together with some units in agronomy and/or soil science and/or natural resources management or if you are a graduate in computing science, ICT, sensor networks, drones, engineering, mathematics, statistics, agronomy, plant and animal science, physics, chemistry, biology, law, social science, economics, natural resources management and business — just to name a few — then precision agriculture needs you!
