Overview

Master of Science in Agricultural Innovation

With a Master of Science in Agricultural Innovation you will have the skills required to solve the complex challenges facing the world.

Globally agriculture will need to feed over nine billion people by 2050. With a changing climate and increasing competition for land, water and energy resources, the agricultural sector will need to find innovative ways to do more with less. 

To achieve this, an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving will be required. 

By completing courses in environmental management, business, computer science, biology, engineering or systems modelling, you will have the skills to integrate and adapt knowledge from different disciplines to design novel solutions to complex problems.

You will learn from world-leading experts from across ANU, and its industry partners, through initiatives including the Center for Entrepreneurial Agri-Technology (CEAT), a joint ANU-CSIRO initiative. 

In partnership with government and industry, CEAT brings together research and technology to address industry challenges, cutting across traditional discipline boundaries.

Working in multidisciplinary teams on industry projects, graduates will translate research and theory into real-world outcomes, gaining industry relevant skills and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by industry.

Learning Outcomes

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the complexity of agricultural systems and value chains.
  • Interpret, synthesize and critically analyze published literature of relevance to agricultural systems in the context of innovation, productivity and resilience to climatic environmental, economic and social drivers of change.
  • Apply knowledge of innovation systems in identifying emerging opportunities and solving challenges in the agricultural sector.
  • Integrate and adapt appropriate knowledge and problem-solving methods from different disciplines and industries, to co-design novel solutions with stakeholders and clients effectively in multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Demonstrate a critical understanding of science in society
  • Clearly communicate theory and results in both written and oral formats
