You'll have access to some of Australia's best agricultural teaching and research facilities, including our 1,600-hectare Global Digital Farm. you'll get hands-on with our computer facilities, precision agriculture technologies, the most sophisticated underground root growth laboratory (rhyzolysimeter) in the Southern Hemisphere, our commercial sheep and cattle operations, and animal-handling facilities. Develop strong practical skills in our mixed farms and agricultural research institutions and modern laboratories and glasshouse. These skills will be underpinned by working closely with other agricultural organisations on campus as well as the Wagga Wagga Agricultural Institute.
When you graduate, you'll be ready to make your mark in a wide range of careers, including:
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
