Career opportunities

There are four jobs in agriculture for every graduate - and 40 per cent of those roles are in cities. So the comprehensive foundation of knowledge and skills you gain in the Master of Agriculture (with specialisations) will provide diverse career opportunities, in Australia and overseas. Prepare for a range of leadership roles in agriculture, including agribusiness manager, agricultural consultant, agricultural extension officer, Landcare officer, and precision extension officer. You could move into advisory, policy or advocacy roles. Work in catchment management, agricultural education and training, executive management, rural counselling, agricultural consultancy, agricultural finance and natural resource management.

What you will study?

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.
