Nurture a diverse knowledge of agriculture and food production with a broad and deep understanding of the science behind farming, animal production, plant production and soil and nutrient management. Students will learn how to apply the latest sustainability strategies, and the benefits this has on the paddock to plate journey. If a student gains access to Honours, then they can further deepen their learning and practical skills with an original research project in a specific area of agricultural science or specialist farm management.
Lincoln University is the Southern Hemisphere’s oldest recognised specialist university focused on the land-based sectors. The Bachelor of Agricultural Science is unique in being a four-year programme.
Students will develop a broad set of advanced skills spanning not just soil and nutrient management, plant and animal production, and farming systems; but also selected advanced level courses in plant protection, genetics and breeding, sustainability, water resources and management, ecology, agroforestry, precision agriculture, biochemistry, resource management law, field research, seed technology and plant and animal physiology.
The Bachelor of Agricultural Science can be awarded with Honours. Students are invited by the Dean to take the Honours option for their fourth year, and will typically have completed the sixth semester of study within the minimum time, with a cumulative GPA of 5 or higher for their last two years of study.
With the Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Honours), you will have the opportunity to undertake postgraduate courses along with a substantive research project. This expertise prepares you to work at the professional level in agriculture or an agribusiness, and apply a science-based approach to agricultural production and the challenges and opportunities faced by the industry.
Achieving a high class of Honours allows direct entry into PhD-level study.
