Bachelor of Agriculture

Career opportunities

Agriculture is facing many new challenges and demands. The agricultural industry is a very different industry from that of the past. The industry needs skilled professionals with new ideas, new ways of learning and new ways of producing. Graduates need to be well trained, skilled, knowledgeable, dynamic thinkers, who are confident and job ready.

It is our aim at CSU to produce graduates with these qualities - graduates who can meet the challenges faced, who can make a difference in the industry and who can help feed the world with new agriculture. 

Career prospects in this new agricultural industry are excellent. There is a massive shortage of skilled professionals in a wide range of positions. Graduates take on careers as:

  • agronomists
  • livestock/animal production specialists
  • farm managers
  • agricultural merchandise representatives
  • agricultural researchers
  • Landcare coordinators/managers
  • advisory and technical consultants
  • teachers
  • journalists
  • irrigation specialists
  • marketing professionals
  • rural financial supply officers
  • parks and recreation officers

Using the degree as a general qualification, students can find employment in many areas outside science and agriculture.
