Agricultural scientists are central to the world’s ability to sustainably feed its population.

 

This course offers a flexible approach to studying the science that underpins agricultural production. It has a strong focus on field trips and practical  experience, with opportunities for immersive research experiences, industry placement and team-based projects. 

 

This is a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) course, designed for high-performing students to pursue their interest in science through a core of research, leadership and entrepreneurship.

 

You’ll study broadacre cropping and livestock production systems through research-led activities, problem-solving and self-directed experiments using the Curtin field trial area and glasshouse facilities.

 

Your studies will include advanced molecular biology and genetic experiments at Curtin’s new laboratories, and you’ll be introduced to satellite-based technologies used in precision agriculture for crop, pasture and livestock management systems.

 

You’ll also work in multidisciplinary teams with students in other advanced science courses, to explore global issues such as food security, sustainability and climate change.
