Bachelor of Horticulture
This course has been replaced by the new generation Bachelor of Environments.
Course Description
The Bachelor of Horticulture is the only degree program in environmental horticulture offered in Victoria. The demand for graduates by quality employers is a testament to the exceptional staff, course content and facilities at Land & Food's Burnley campus. Students study nursery production and management, landscape construction, arboriculture, cut flower production and open space management amongst eight hectares of nineteenth century ornamental gardens. Emphasis is placed on technological, environmental and managerial points of view.
Students are required to self direct their learning and apply problem solving, communication and team management to an independent industry focussed project demonstrating integrated research, problem solving and statistical skills.
Career Opportunities
Graduates are able to work in a wide range of fields including landscape management, horticultural enterprise management and operation, horticultural commerce, sports turf management, horticultural teaching, flower production, arboriculture, rural journalism and broadcasting, and research and development support.
