Honours Courses
Whatever you are planning for your career, studying an Honours year will provide you with a great opportunity to complement and expand your undergraduate agriculture, agricultural science, animal science and management, food science, forest science, horticulture, resource management or rural business degree.
The Honours year draws together the theory and practical skills gained in your previous studies, enables you to develop new research and professional skills, and gain in-depth knowledge in your particular interest area.
The year comprises:
- an individual research project designed to extend your knowledge and skills in problem solving, and
- advanced coursework.
After successfully completing the program, you will be prepared to either:
- enter the workforce and pursue a career or
- pursue further research study through a Masters or Doctor of Philosophy degree.
We hope you will join us for a challenging and rewarding year!
