Common Questions
Yes, you will complement your lab and classroom learning with fieldwork. You can even choose to spend a semester learning at the University's agricultural research and teaching campus at Dookie, giving you additional hands-on experience and knowledge of farm operations.
You will study agriculture's technological revolution, including drone-based sensors that can monitor plants for disease and water stress across areas equivalent to hundreds of football fields in under an hour, as well as 'big data' and machine learning tools to help farmers grow more food while reducing agriculture's environmental impact.
Yes, Honours is available for this course upon completion of the Bachelor of Agriculture.
The Guaranteed ATAR for 2026 entry is 72.00, and the lowest selection rank in 2025 was 72.75 (guide only).

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
