Overview

Bachelor of Agriculture

Food is crucial to our existence, but what happens before it hits the table? 

The food production industry is in flux due to technological breakthroughs, climate change, rapid urbanisation, economic power, and sustainability shifts. 

To feed ten billion people by 2050, we need an agricultural revolution.

Study La Trobe's Bachelor of Agriculture to make your mark in agriculture.

You'll get a solid grounding in science fundamentals, including biology, chemistry and animal sciences, taught by leading academics and industry experts. 

You'll also delve deeper into discipline-specific topics such as plant and soil science, animal nutrition, pest control, animal health and biochemistry.

Throughout your degree, you'll explore the issues that are set to dominate the future of agriculture, including unpredictable water supply, climate change, food security, environmental impacts of agriculture, and sustainable cropping and grazing systems. 

You'll get a proper, practical understanding of these challenges through real-world case studies. 

And with access to Reid Labs and AgriBio, Victoria's most prominent agricultural science research centre, you'll be learning in a truly world-class environment.

The theory is good, but hands-on experience is even better. 

Your degree includes a range of practical learning opportunities and industry experiences to see first-hand how your skills and knowledge apply in real-world settings. 

These experiences will allow you to begin building your network of industry contacts – something you'll be able to draw on throughout your career.

Your third and final year is about applying the skills and knowledge you've learned in an agricultural context. 

Harness and hone all you've learned in La Trobe's laboratories and in-field work to prepare for your next step after graduation.

Whether you want to forge a career in agriculture in a laboratory, on farms, or in an office, the Bachelor of Agriculture will provide you with the skills and knowledge to face the next generation's challenges.
