BSc (Science) - Agricultural Science in Bentley Australia | Curtin University

Bachelor's degree programs equip students with comprehensive knowledge and skills in a specific discipline, aligning with AQF level 7 qualifications for professional careers and advanced studies. Students can explore their scientific interests by selecting at least one major offered by the Faculty of Science and Engineering, with options to pursue double majors throughout their academic journey. The program also provides extension specializations tied to each major, along with science specializations that complement the chosen field of study (requiring first-year prerequisites). Additionally, students may select minors without first-year prerequisites to enhance their scientific education.

Agriculture encompasses the scientific principles and practical techniques behind food and fiber production. As global concerns about food security intensify, expertise in agricultural development is becoming increasingly valuable across all economies. Australia's potential to pioneer sustainable, cost-effective, and ethical food production methods further expands career prospects in this field.

This program provides foundational knowledge in agricultural science and technology for plant and animal production. Given agriculture's interdisciplinary nature, the curriculum covers essential biology, chemistry, statistics, and key agricultural components like soil science, crop science, animal science, and molecular genetics.

The coursework addresses both broad challenges (food security, sustainability, climate change) and technical aspects of production systems, including soil management. Students will learn about satellite-based precision agriculture technologies for managing crops, pastures, and livestock.

Opportunities exist to collaborate with Curtin's research centers, potentially opening pathways to research-oriented careers.
