Overview

Bachelor of Agribusiness - Farm Management

At Massey, many of the university agribusiness students have jobs before they even graduate.

The Bachelor of Agribusiness (Farm Management) prepares you for the demands of the farming business. 

From strategic to organizational skills, you’ll learn how to build and deliver profitable businesses on a sustainable basis.

 

Become a multidisciplinary practitioner

You’ll be able to draw from business-related disciplines such as industrial economics, marketing, supply chain management, and finance. You’ll also gain knowledge in:

  • natural sciences
  • environmental sciences
  • life sciences
  • food security and safety
  • primary production technologies
  • systems and biotechnology.

 

Put agribusiness into perspective

The discipline of farm management provides the ability to interpret and put into perspective issues affecting farm and agribusiness managers. 

It offers an understanding of how and why managers make decisions and what impact those decisions have on their business and the wider industry.

 

Practical experience while you study

Your learning will focus on real-world case studies and will include field trips to provide experiential learning – from talking to and observing farmers.

You’ll gain a huge amount of practical experience. This will include at least 26 weeks of paid employment undertaken in agriculture and related sectors.
