Overview

Australia's agricultural industry is a key part of the world's food supply system. The challenges of a rapidly growing population, climate change, and the limitations of land and fresh water all impact on the ability of agriculture to meet the demand for food, fibre and fuel. As part of the Agricultural Science major you will investigate how to address this demand by developing an understanding of the complex factors that shape agricultural systems.

Agricultural Science provides the research, technology and information for the sustainable and ethical development of the agricultural industry. Your studies will include soil science, genetics, cropping systems, soil-plant interaction, livestock production, agricultural economics and grain marketing. It is envisaged that there will be up to two overnight field trips (costing up to $200 per student to cover the cost of food and accommodation on overnight field trips, across a maximum of four nights).

Career Pathways

There is a shortage of agricultural science graduates so vast opportunities await. Career opportunities are expansive and the skills you learn are transferable to many other fields and areas of study. Pathways include agribusiness, agronomy, banking, biotechnology, consultancy, finance, food industry, farmer groups, international development, journalism, landcare, market analysis, market development, teaching, science communication and extension, research and politics. Graduates of the Bachelor of Science - Agricultural Science program from The University of Western Australia are employed by agrichemical companies, breeding companies, businesses, consulting firms, farmer groups and other community groups, food industries, fertiliser companies, government agencies, international agencies, research organisations, colleges and universities.
