Overview

Bachelor of Agricultural Sciences

The Bachelor of Agricultural Sciences program at the University of Adelaide offers students a comprehensive understanding of the physical, biological, technological, and economic aspects of modern agricultural systems. 

Through this program, students will learn how to apply scientific and economic principles to effectively manage agricultural systems and the natural resources that support them.

A hands-on approach to teaching will set you up to join this booming industry. You will:   

  • Learn how to respond to global food shortages and a changing climate with sustainable practices, environmental stewardship, modern agribusiness and new technology
  • practice the latest methods, from adapting genes and cells for new crops to the business of livestock, and explore emerging trends, like vertical farming
  • build practical skills through at least 450 hours of internships and real-world learning at our working farm at Roseworthy
  • learn about industry-transforming technology, like drones, GPS and crop sensors
  • go on field trips across Australia, exploring everything from dryland farming to glasshouse systems
  • develop skills in agribusiness that will allow you to work in the business of farming
  • access the latest research, innovation and technology through government and industry partners.


Students must complete a total of 12 weeks of professional work experience to the value of at least 450 hours, including satisfactorily completing all associated assessment items.
