11. Planning an undergraduate course

The Bachelors of Agriculture, Horticulture, Resource Management and Applied Science (Food Technology) are three years in length (or part-time equivalent). A fourth year honours program is available which involves coursework and the completion of a research project under the supervision of one or more staff members. The Bachelor of Forestry is a four-year degree with honours awarded at the end of the fourth year based on marks from the third and fourth years.

The institute offers three combined degrees which are five years in length (or part-time equivalent): Bachelor of Agriculture/Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Forestry/Bachelor of Commerce, and Bachelor of Forestry/Bachelor of Science. Honours in the agriculture or forestry component is awarded at the end of the fifth year, based on marks for the third, fourth and fifth years.

The Advanced Diplomas in Agriculture, Forestry Management and Horticulture are two years in length (or part-time equivalent), and in addition may require workplace placement.

Students are advised to consult the relevant course coordinator when planning their course, as institute approval is required before elective subjects are chosen. The student administration officers and course coordinators are the reference point for all matters relating to enrolment and course advice.
