Agriculture, animal and food sciences

Agricultural experts are needed to help sustainably feed, fuel and clothe our growing global
population. Join the next generation of farm, fibre and food entrepreneurs by studying
with a global leader in agriculture. We offer first class programs in agriculture, agribusiness,
food, plant, soil and animal sciences. Learn from world-leading academics who are closely
connected to industry and government, and enjoy access to our extensive specialist research
facilities. Our hands-on learning approach offers practical experiences such as field visits,
laboratory practicals, industry placements, and independent research projects.
Environmental management
Learn from Australia's leading environmental experts in programs that combine your
scientific knowledge with the legal, political and social aspects of conservation and
environmental management. Gain real-world skills to understand and manage our changing
planet through industry placements and extensive fieldwork experiences in a diversity of
ecosystems, including World Heritage rainforests, the Great Barrier Reef, island research
stations and outback Australia.
Careers
With the world’s population expected to reach 10 billion people by 2050, food and fibre
production must increase by 70 per cent. Studying agriculture will take you beyond
traditional farming practices to meet this need in industries like agribusiness, agricultural
science and food science.
Environmental managers take a critical look at the causes of environmental problems
and develop ways of managing and solving them. Be part of the solution for big issues
like climate change, pollution and land clearing for consultancies, mining companies,
government, landcare groups and non-government organisations.
