About Bachelor of Agriculture (104803M)

The food production industry is in a state of flux due to technological breakthroughs, climate change, rapid urbanization, shifts in economic power and sustainability.

Students can study La Trobe University's Bachelor of Agriculture to make their mark in agriculture. They will get a solid grounding in science fundamentals, including biology, chemistry and animal sciences, taught by the university's leading academics and industry experts. Students will also delve deeper into discipline-specific topics such as plant and soil science, animal nutrition, pest control, animal health and biochemistry.

Throughout the degree, students will explore the issues that are set to dominate the future of agriculture, including unpredictable water supply, climate change, food security, environmental impacts of agriculture, and sustainable cropping and grazing systems. They will get a true, practical understanding of these challenges through real-world case studies. And with access to Reid Labs and AgriBio, Victoria's largest agricultural science research center, students will be learning in a truly world-class environment.

Theory is good, but hands-on experience is even better. Students' degree includes a range of practical learning opportunities and industry experiences, so they can see first-hand how their skills and knowledge apply in real-world settings. These experiences will give them the opportunity to begin building their network of industry contacts – something they will be able to draw on throughout their career.

Students' third and final year is all about applying the skills and knowledge they have learned in an agricultural context. Students will harness and hone all they have learned in La Trobe University's laboratories and in-field work to prepare for their next step after graduation.

Students will learn:
  • Agronomy - Learn how to advise clients and solve problems to improve production, profit and sustainability.
  • Animal health and science - Learn about animal health, nutrition, physiology and biology – and the role each has to play in safer and more ethical food supplies, farm productivity and reduced environmental impacts.
