The Viticulture and Wine education programs have an international reputation for excellence. The Waite campus houses state-of-the-art facilities including its own vineyard and Hickinbotham Roseworthy Wine Science Laboratory.

The Masters provides advanced knowledge in all aspects of modern grape-growing including: advanced production techniques, vineyard establishment, mineral nutrition, advanced vine physiology and biotechnology, pest and disease control, efficient water use strategies, and the engineering of production and irrigation. Students may also gain a basic working knowledge of wine production, and some aspects of the global marketing of wine, which reflects trends in the wine industry towards an integrated approach ‘from grape to glass’.

Graduate Certificate students must complete the three core courses plus one elective. Because these courses are presented in either the first or second semester, the Graduate Certificate can only be studied part-time.

Combination of written assignments, individual or group projects and exams.

Well paid career opportunities exist in the grape and wine industry within Australia and elsewhere.  Graduates will be qualified to manage a vineyard, direct and carry out vineyard operations, liaise with winemakers to produce fruit for a designated wine style and work in technical positions.
