Bachelor of Agriculture
Food is crucial to our very existence, but what happens before it hits the table? The food production industry is in a state of flux due to technological breakthroughs, climate change, rapid urbanisation, shifts in economic power and sustainability. To feed ten billion people by 2050, we need an agricultural revolution.
Study La Trobe's Bachelor of Agriculture to make your mark in agriculture.
You'll get a solid grounding in science fundamentals, including biology, chemistry and animal sciences, taught by our leading academics and industry experts. You'll also delve deeper into discipline-specific topics such as plant and soil science, animal nutrition, pest control, animal health and biochemistry.
Throughout your degree, you'll explore the issues that are set to dominate the future of agriculture, including unpredictable water supply, climate change, food security, environmental impacts of agriculture, and sustainable cropping and grazing systems. You'll get a true, practical understanding of these challenges through real-world case studies. And with access to Reid Labs and AgriBio, Victoria's largest agricultural science research centre, you'll be learning in a truly world-class environment.
Theory is good, but hands-on experience is even better. Your degree includes a range of practical learning opportunities and industry experiences, so you can see first-hand how your skills and knowledge apply in real-world settings. These experiences will give you the opportunity to begin building your network of industry contacts – something you'll be able to draw on throughout your career.
Your third and final year is all about applying the skills and knowledge you've learned in an agricultural context. Harness and hone all you've learned in La Trobe's laboratories and in-field work to prepare for your next step after graduation.
Whether you want to forge a career in agriculture in a laboratory, on farms or in an office, our Bachelor of Agriculture will provide you with the skills and knowledge to take on the challenges facing the next generation.
You'll learn:
- Agronomy - Learn how to advise clients and solve problems to improve production, profit and sustainability.
- Animal health and science - Learn about animal health, nutrition, physiology and biology – and the role each has to play in safer and more ethical food supplies, farm productivity and reduced environmental impacts.
- Agricultural systems - Technological innovations are continuing to shape and improve the agricultural industry. Learn about contemporary agricultural production systems ways in which you influence production sustainability.
- Sustainable intensification - Learn how agricultural practices can be changed to increase production while reducing impact on the environment, all in order to meet food security requirements of the 21st century.
