Course Description
Agriculture is the science and practice of food and fibre production. Australia has the potential to be a leader in developing innovative solutions for sustainable, economical and ethical food production, across domestic and international markets.
The Agricultural Science major is designed to give students an industry-ready understanding of the science and technology required for the production of plants and animals for food and fibre.
The study of agricultural science is multi-disciplinary. It builds from the basics of biology, chemistry and statistics, to the components of agricultural systems – including soil science, crop science, animal science and molecular genetics.
Topics range from overarching issues such as food security, sustainability and climate change, to specifics of crop and animal production and soil health.
During your studies you’ll have opportunities to engage with Curtin-based research centres, which could lead to career options in those areas.
With food production and security being important issues for both developed and emerging economies, careers in agricultural production and development are available throughout the world.
There are also career options in research, extension and service provision to agriculture and horticulture industries.
