You've heard all these before, but what's the real story?

There aren’t any jobs
Industry wants more skilled graduates in agricultural science, integrated pest management and natural resource management. These are the jobs for people who want to make a difference to the future of our economy and the way we use our planet. Courses in agricultural science can't keep up with that demand which means good opportunities and good working conditions for you.


It’s all about sheep, cows and crops
Actually it's all about smart use of resources and science to improve productivity, profits and knowledge. And it's about cutting edge technology and lateral thinking.


It’s a career for country bumpkins
  -no use if you want to live and work in the city
It's a great career for people who want to work in the country or the city, or even if you want to do both in the same job. It's also a great career if you want to travel.


Studying agriculture is only useful
    if you want to be a farmer
Studying agriculture can lead you to a career working in sustainable, ecologically sensitive food and wine production, working with animals or helping to save and manage our environment. The basic knowledge and skills of agricultural science are your passport to a career in research, business, production, management or marketing. The choice is yours.
