Overview

This Agricultural Science Major (BAdvSci) (Honours) program from Curtin University has a strong focus on field trips and practical agricultural experience, with opportunities for immersive research experiences, industry placement and team-based projects.

This is a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) course, designed for high-performing students to pursue their interest in science through a core of research, leadership and entrepreneurship.

You’ll study broadacre cropping and livestock production systems through research-led activities, problem-solving and self-directed experiments using the Curtin field trial area and glasshouse facilities.

Your study will include advanced molecular biology and genetic experiments at Curtin’s new laboratories, and you’ll be introduced to satellite-based technologies used in precision agriculture for crop, pasture and livestock management systems. You’ll engage with leading researchers, such as those in the Curtin-based Centre for Crop Disease Management – Australia’s foremost research group for developing solutions to crop pathogens.

You’ll also work in multidisciplinary teams with students in other advanced science majors, to explore global issues such as food security, sustainability and climate change.
