- Program Outline
No new admissions into this program for 2012.
Agribusiness is the world's largest industry, employing half the global labour force, controlling half of the world's assets and accounting for some 40% of consumer purchases.
At the University of Adelaide, agribusiness students study all aspects, from 'field to fork', of the business environment related to agriculture, food and natural resource supply chains.
The postgraduate programs in Agribusiness are designed to help students develop the conceptual and practical skills necessary for agribusiness management decision making, policy analysis and problem solving in an ever-expanding and increasingly complex global food and agricultural marketplace.
The selection of courses is designed to allow students flexibility to tailor their program to their individual background and career objectives. The programs are suitable for individuals whose undergraduate training is not in agricultural business, but who wish to gain knowledge in this area. The Masters Program combines advanced coursework with a research component.
The University of Adelaide's Agribusiness programs provide a unique opportunity for students to study in a multidisciplinary environment with other students from around the globe.
- Program Structure
The Master of Agricultural Business involves three core courses which every candidate must complete: Issues in Australian Agribusiness, International Agribusiness Environment and Agricultural Business Management. Further to this, candidates must complete courses chosen from a number of electives. Students should discuss their choice of courses with the Program Coordinator. All candidates must also complete a research project in Agribusiness.
