| Overview | This course has the general aim of providing a formal academic qualification for people who wish to obtain training at the tertiary level in some area of agriculture, without the need to commit themselves to a full degree program. It is an ideal program for those who need to undertake a refresher course in a particular discipline, or who wish to broaden their knowledge, or who perhaps simply wish to satisfy their curiosity. |
| Entry Requirements | Applicants should have completed the Certificate in Agriculture or equivalent but applicants with other qualifications and relevant experience will be considered. |
| Other Benefits | On completion of the Diploma students may enrol for the Bachelor of Agriculture and are able to count units already completed towards the Diploma. |
