Why study the Bachelors of Agribusiness/Applied Science?
This program is designed to provide an appreciation of food and fibre industries in combination with technology and management of animal science, food science & nutrition or plant studies, depending on the Applied Science major selected. Agribusiness is concerned with delivering food and fibre products to global customers. It includes all operations involved in the manufacture and distribution of farm supplies, production processes on farms, and storage, processing and marketing of farm commodities, and products made from them. In terms of production value and employment opportunities, agribusiness is a major part of the Australian economy.
This program combines core studies in business with an understanding of the agricultural business environment and an appreciation of the technologies of the food and fibre industries. Students' creative, analytical and marketing skills are challenged in the final year by a unique "Thinking of Asia" project. Groups of students are engaged as consultants by agribusiness companies. They travel to Asian countries to conduct market research. This project provides students with a unique commer-cial experience in a foreign country and is highly valued by potential employers.
