6. Planning an undergraduate course

The Bachelors of Agricultural Science, Agriculture, Animal Science and Management, Food Science, Forest Science, Horticulture, Resource Management and Rural Business 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 Faculty offers three combined degrees which are five years in length (or part-time equivalent): Bachelor of Agricultural Science/Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Forest Science/Bachelor of Commerce, and Bachelor of Forest Science/Bachelor of Science. Honours in the agriculture or forest science component are awarded at the end of the fifth year.

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

Students are expected to undertake additional study (ie., outside the stated contact hours) of at least one hour for each hour of contact in all Faculty subjects within their course.

Students are advised to consult the relevant course coordinator when planning their course, as Faculty 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.
