Charles Sturt University's Bachelor of Agricultural Business Management provides you with knowledge and skills required to work anywhere along the agricultural supply chain, from farm production through to export and marketing of agriproducts, as well as the many businesses servicing this sector.
This agriculture degree offers access to Charles Sturt University's 2,000-hectare commercial mixed farm at Wagga Wagga (an outdoor classroom that has been in operation since the 1800s).
If you've received an eligible diploma from TAFE, you could benefit from guaranteed entry into the Bachelor of Agricultural Business Management and fast-track your degree. You could even receive an offer to study before you get your end-of-year high school marks through the School Recommendation Schemes (SRS). This degree is open to students at eligible schools, agricultural colleges and TAFE institutes.
When it comes to how to study agriculture, the choice is yours. Combine your study with work commitments. Study full-time for three years at Wagga Wagga, six years part-time online, or a mixture of both online and on campus.
Our farms, field and laboratory facilities, all located on campus, provide a training facility for students and a base for several commercial, educational and research enterprises.
