Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Science

Program Overview

Agricultural Science involves the study of soil management and crop production. A combination of ecology, biology, chemistry and genetics, and seeks to understand plant nutrition and crop production. Students prepare for careers related to agriculture as they learn soil physical and chemical characteristics and effects of agriculture on soil fertility. They study other factors of production including climate, weeds, fungi, erosion, leaching and pests. Students also learn about plant physiology, genetics, nutrition, effects on soil, satellite-based micro-management of inputs and the maximisation of sustained yield, and how to market farm products. Animal production includes the study of animal physiology, nutrition, reproduction, genetics and food/meat science. Students prepare for careers related to livestock and equine breeding, management, health, economics and food safety.
