Bachelor of Science (Agriculture)
University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of Science (Agriculture) sits inside a state where agriculture is a genuinely dominant export sector (Western Australia produces roughly half the nation's wheat), and UWA's agriculture program leans directly into that regional weight, covering plant and animal production, soil science, agricultural economics and increasingly agtech and precision agriculture content, with field-based practical components that draw on WA's actual grain, livestock and horticultural industries rather than generic textbook agriculture.
The degree is taught with strong links to WA's Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and to grower groups and agribusiness employers across the Wheatbelt and southwest, giving students industry contact that a purely metropolitan science degree elsewhere in the country typically can't offer at the same scale.
Graduates move into agronomy, agribusiness management, agricultural research and government agricultural policy roles, with strong local graduate demand given the size and continued growth of WA's grains, livestock and horticultural export sectors.
