Bachelor of Agriculture
Why study the Bachelor of Agriculture at UNE?
This is an industry-orientated course and provides vocational training with an applied and hands-on education. From the outset students can immerse themselves in practical studies and see the relevance of the subjects they are undertaking. This course was specifically designed to produce agricultural managers with wide practical knowledge and experience but without the specialised research and extension skills provided in the fourth year of the BRurSc. Practical Experience: All students must complete 16 weeks of practical experience work during their enrolment for the degree.Need assistance?
