A Bachelor of AgriScience (Agriculture) degree provides the knowledge base and the analytical and management skills to improve the productivity and sustainability of agricultural systems. The major welds an understanding of agribusiness to modern farming practices within the wider context of the economy and society. It provides a sound foundation in agriculture but is sufficiently flexible to allow students to specialise in subjects of particular interest to them.

The agriculture industry is diverse. It includes farming enterprises such as dairy, meat, and wool production; forage production; farm tourism; genetic improvement of plants and animals; and seed production. It also includes biosecurity, as well as service, consultative, and food processing industries.

The Agriculture major will introduce you to a wide range of agricultural enterprises and enable you to gain specialist skills and knowledge in areas of greatest interest to you. You are also able to enter Honours, Postgraduate Diploma, or Masters programmes to further your learning after completing the major. The Agriculture major is structured to ensure that you develop professional skills in written and spoken presentation, computing, and working with professional colleagues and clients.

BAgriScience students will develop a broad overview of the issues confronting New Zealand farmers and agribusiness. Introductory papers in pastures, animals, soils and climate, economics, and business provide the basis for more advanced study later in the programme. In the final year, there is scope for students to focus on specific subjects; however, the aim of the programme is to produce well-rounded agriculture graduates.

Entry Requirements

There are no special requirements beyond those that qualify you to study at University. However, it is preferable that you have credit for NCEA Level 3 Biology or Science, Chemistry, Modelling and Statistics, plus English and Maths. These subjects will help ensure that your transition to University study is as smooth as possible.
